Bear Country Fishing Village's gift shop and Big Bear Halibut Charters share real estate on the…read moreHomer Spit. The gift shop is an pleasant and unexpected companion to the fishing charter. By Homer standards, the gift shop is huge and yet it's unadvertised as though it were an after-thought. Bear Country is the most well-rounded Alaska themed shop on the Homer Spit boardwalk. They have the biggest variety of average-man's Alaska made and Alaska themed gifts on the Spit. Bear Country is primarily authentically Alaskan, which really surprised me. I'll forgive them for their large collection of made-in-China Alaska t-shirts in light of their array of handicrafts. I loved that they had Alaskan-made knitted and crocheted items, pottery and crafts that included locally found driftwood, sea glass and lava rock. There was a nice selection of affordable handmade jewelery, bric-a-brac and soaps. Bear Country gift shop is a treasure in it's own right!
