Beautiful Whidbey Island Holiday
lies within the Puget Sound, on the Pacific Northwest, just north of the city
of Seattle, Washington. The island has become a favorite relaxation spot for
mainland residents, who would like to exchange skyscrapers and the noise of busy
traffic for quaint historical towns and shimmering coves, even if it’s only for
a little while.
Langley is one of the towns on
the island. It is charming, small and has many historical buildings. One of
them is the 1937 movie house, Clyde Theater. The theater remains excellently
preserved and is still screening classic and contemporary films to this day.
Another historical town on the island is called Coupeville, which is the county
seat and is the second oldest town in the state of Washington. Here, you will
find over 100 buildings listed in the National Historic Register. So walking in
the town’s shopping areas and waterfront is like walking back into the past.
Coupeville has a number of historic inns, restaurants and pubs. It is an ideal
base for anyone who would like to explore Whidbey for a couple of days. Aside from lovely towns, the island also
enchants its visitors with its wineries, wonderful parks and scenic coast.
A visit to Whidbey is all about
delighting in the beauty of nature. Deception Pass State Park is one of the
major attractions on the island. It is home to a wide range of bird species,
mainly because of the island’s ideal temperate climate. If you are an angling
enthusiast, you should look no further. There are plenty of rich fishing areas
on Whidbey. While in the park area, you can head out to Cranberry Lake to catch
the big ones.
Traveling with the whole family?
Consider bringing them to Cornet Bay’s marina. Here, you can book a charter
boat to take you whale-watching or sightseeing, and they will even arrange a
marvelous dinner onboard. If you want to rough it up in the wilderness,
experience camping at this state park as camping sites and RV parking are
available throughout the year. For beach
lovers, the perfect spot to head out to is Ala Spit. The name may sound funny,
but this site gives you gorgeous views of the coast as well as Strait of Juan
de Fuca and other islands in the distance. Here, you can lounge on the beach
all day or enjoy a picnic by the seaside.
The history buff in you will
probably be thrilled to visit Fort Ebey State Park and Fort Casey. Fort Ebey
was the main line of defense from invasion for the Puget Sound. There are no more threats of war and invasion
today. But what remains are intriguing hiking trails, and the magnificent views
of the Olympic Peninsula and Port Townsend.
Speaking of trails; one of the newest and more fascinating one you could
follow is the Island County trail that links Fort Ebey and Coupeville to
‘kettles’. Kettles are distinct but quite picturesque geologic formations
formed during the Ice Age. Fort Casey, on the other hand, was also designed to
prevent naval invasion. It is home to the iconic Admiralty Head Lighthouse.
