Ebey's Landing State Park beach, bluff in National Historical Reserve, Whidbey Island, Washington, USA.

Start from a driftwood-strewn beach at Ebey's Landing State Park and walk to the Bluff Trail, in Ebey's Landing National Historical Reserve, on Whidbey Island, Washington, USA. Ebey's Landing is on the Strait of Juan de Fuca, at the gateway to Puget Sound. In 1850, Isaac Neth Ebey (Whidbey Island's first permanent Euro-American settler) homesteaded the adjacent low prairie which has easy access to upper reaches of the island. Ebey's Landing became a popular boat launch, supported by the historic Ferry House (built in 1860), where early travelers could get lodging, food, postal services, supplies, and overland transportation to the Island County seat across the island (at Penn Cove).
