One of the top trails on the Homer side of Kachemak Bay, Diamond Creek is a 2-mile trail that takes you through forest, alders, and tall grass meadows before descending to the beach, where you’ll find small Alaskan sealife. The trail’s upper half is mostly switchbacks with a crushed-rock surface, but there are some areas of blue clay that can be slick if wet. The last half of the trail is fairly steep; a walking stick would come in handy. Once at the bottom, you’re about halfway between the mouth of the Anchor River and Bishop’s Beach

We really love this hike and it’s only a few minute’s drive from the cabin. Go left on Dimond Ridge road as you leave the cabin and go until you hit the main Sterling Highway intersection. Almost directly across the highway just a bit to the right is the access road for Dimond Creek trailhead. If you park at the first trailhead that has a sign kiosk, it’s about a 1.6 mile walk to the beach. If you drive down the road further until the second trailhead, it’s about 0.6 miles to the beach. This trail can be very slippery and muddy and I don’t recommend doing it after heavy rains. Bring a picnic lunch and try to time your hike around low tide!
