Beautiful and gentle hikes amongst the grandmother and grandfather trees of the forest.

One of our favorite beaches. Wide swaths of sandy beach, driftwood building and structures, and off leash for your four-legged friends. *Please don’t climb the bluff. It is not safe for humans (there have been some brutal accidents) or the ecosystem.

Ebey’s Landing combines breathtaking vistas of prairie, farmland, and the Salish Sea, a gorgeous beach, and a loop trail that traverses it all. The 5.6 mile loop trail is one of the most stunning trails on the island. Check tides before you go as the beach portion of the loop is difficult to access at high tide. According to the Reserve’s website, “Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve, our nation’s first national historical reserve, was established in 1978 in order to protect and preserve a rural community and its unbroken historical record of exploration and settlement in Puget Sound. It represents a unique model of preservation based on partnerships between government and citizens. The Reserve’s history is in the town, the farms and fields, roads, historical buildings and historic sites found throughout the Reserve.”
