Sunrise / Sunset Times in Homer

Daylight seems to be the most common question for guests that have not visited Alaska. The chart below gives the sunrise and sunset times for our Lodge in Homer, Alaska. Civil Twilight is when the center of the sun is 6% below the horizon. This is when it will first start getting last sight of light in the evening. The time between civil twilight ending and civil twilight beginning is when it becomes dark. June 21st is the Summer Solstice and is the longest day of the year, with about 22 1/2 hours of daylight. December 21st is the Winter Solstice and this is the shortest day of the year, with about 7 hours of daylight. The Lodge at Otter Cove has blackout drapes in all our cabins.  This provides complete darkness so everyone is comfortable sleeping. Look and see how light it will be during your visit to the Alaskan wilderness. Sitting outside in a rocking chair watching what seem like a never ending sunset during the summer is absolutely amazing.
