The forces of nature that built the Homer Spit might have washed it away years ago, if humans had not intervened. Winter storms roaring out of the northwest try to separate the 4.5-mile strip of sand and gravel from the mainland almost every year, but rock walls and perseverance keep it intact.
The prevalent theory for the Spit’s origin is that it is the remains of an ancient glacial moraine, constantly re-shaped by ocean currents. Two archaeological finds, one near the base and one about three-fourths of the way out, reveal that the Spit was used by humans long before written history. Fire-cracked rocks and shells indicate that people gathered clams and mussels here, cooking them over open fires. Pacific Eskimo are known to have lived on these shores thousands of years ago. Dena’ina Athabascan Indians moved into Cook Inlet about 1,000 years ago. Russian explorers, trappers and traders came in the late 1700s, adding their culture and naming some of the geographic features. In the late 1800s, coal was mined here and became the early economic base, transported by rail-road from Bidarka Creek to ships at the end of the Homer Spit.
