Succumb to the charms of Whidbey Island, which offers an alluring combination of peaceful coastal scenery, quaint towns and acres of farmland. Exciting events and markets overflowing with local produce bring life to the towns, while the beaches and hills of the coast promise adventure and relaxation in equal measure. The log forts and military bases throughout the island hint at Whidbey’s military history. Visit Fort Casey, an outpost built in the 1890s to protect the waterways of Puget Sound. Learn about the island’s role in defending America at the PBY Naval Air Museum, which features aircraft models and military ephemera such as log books and engines. Explore the island’s historic port towns. Stroll around the scenic waterfront of [Coupeville](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Coupeville.d93037.Holidays-City-Breaks) many of the wood-paneled buildings here are part of the National Register of Historic Places. In Langley, browse independent galleries and boutique shops on its classically American main street. There are six different state parks across the island. Hike around the saltwater canyon of [Deception Pass State Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Deception-Pass-State-Park-Washington.d6093329.Attraction) or kayak along its rocky shores. Find more ocean-based activities at Cama Beach State Park, where you can bird watch, boat and fish. The rural island communities are very proud of their local produce. Tour the Whidbey Island Distillery to taste spirits that have fruity flavours straight from the fields. Buy fresh fruit, vegetables and meat in the farmers markets that take place across the island. In August, an annual fair featuring open-air concerts, street parades and pop-up vendors takes place. Although Whidbey is an island, it is still easily accessible from mainland Washington. Take a ferry from Port Townsend to Coupeville or drive over the bridge that leads into Deception Pass. The summer months of July and August are the busiest on Whidbey Island, but you can enjoy the island in all seasons. Come in spring or fall to take advantage of mild temperatures and fewer crowds. ### Where to stay in Whidbey Island ![Default Image](https://mediaim.expedia.com/destination/2/b8ff75d373b05ee521969c2f45531c3a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=350&h=192&q=medium) ### Lagoon Point While Lagoon Point may not have many sights to explore, venturing just a little farther will lead you to top things to see and do like Fort Flagler State Park and Meerkerk Rhododendron Gardens.
