Ebey's Landing

We followed the WTA directions to this hike and ended up at Ebey's Lookout at 10 am from Seattle. (A lookout upon a vast planting field and prairie.) It is across a cemetery and has about 6-10 parking spaces. As you leave this parking lot you will see a sign that says, 'trail' and 'visitors center .2 miles'.

We walked (with 3 and 4 year olds) to the visitors center then along a planting field and prairie. The walk was flat and filled with wild grasses, birds and lovely greenery. The walk ended at the bluffs (majestic, peaceful, amazing), turn left and you walk a bit more then down some stairs to the beach (1.5 miles total) If you wanted to go just to the beach, there is a parking lot off Ebey's Road. If you turn right you hike for 3.5 miles to the little lagoon there. (We did not do this.)

We concentrated on the beach hike since we were with kids. The bluffs were picturesque but it was very windy up there, jackets suggested. No bugs in site but sun, wind and fog. The beach was so windy and foggy, the temps. were about 55 but felt colder. I was told later in the day the fog would have burned off.
