Joseph Whidbey State Park is a day use park on the west shore of Whidbey Island with expansive views of Victoria, B.C., Lopez Island and the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Take in a spectacular sunset, hike a moderate trail, enjoy a picnic, or roam the beach with your kids.

Dabob Bay Natural Area (dnr.wa.gov) The Dabob Bay Natural Area was established in 1984 to protect rare examples of intact salt marsh and sand spit plant communities within one of Washington’s highest functioning coastal spit and tidal wetland systems. Initially created as a natural area preserve (NAP), the site was enlarged in 2009, and again in 2016, to include additional land designated as NAP, along with lands designated as natural resources conservation area (NRCA). This provides additional opportunities for low-impact public use.

Washington State Parks (parks.wa.gov) The Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission cares for Washington’s most treasured lands, waters, and historic places. State parks connect all Washingtonians to their diverse natural and cultural heritage and provide memorable recreational and educational experiences that enhance their lives.
