Libbey Beach Park — Attraction in Whidbey Island

We were on a boondoggle across Whidbey Island and happened across a turn for this little park. And I’m glad we did. This tiny park is off the beaten path and much less crowded than the islands other more notable locations, but offers access to a nice public beach that has lots to offer at low tide. The park has limited parking with one handicap and three other stripped spots. But another 5-6 cars could easily fill up spots along the road side or in front of the overlook area. There are a couple picnic tables and bbq stands for the prepared, and toilet that is currently closed, having been replaced by a porta-potty. The path to the beach is short but does have stairs.

And on a clear day you we can see west out to Vancouver Island and the Straight of Juan de Fuca, and south toward Port Townsend. It’s a nice spot for a stop if you’re...

The cliffs also gives a different view then most...

First time here. Seems small when you arrive but don’t be fooled! There is a nice grass area with a picnic table for eating and whatnot. You do have to walk down some stairs to get to the actually beach itself but it’s not many and they aren’t too steep. The beach itself is like most beaches. Rocks, sand, driftwood. Beautiful view, our course. There weren’t many people here when we were there.there isn’t a lot of parking, so I could see that being an issue on a busy day, but it was just fine when we were there. Also, there is a port-a-potty on site, should you...
