This Whidbey Island hike is a nice option for a sunny winter day when you'd like to stay out in the open and enjoy some great views. It took about 1.5 hours to drive there from Seattle including the ferry.
Our five year old happily walked the whole (3.5 or 3.0 mile?)loop, and we carried the 14 month old in the pack. I held kiddo's hand on a couple of parts of the bluff trail where it traverses steep open slopes. He loved the short sand slide at the bottom near the beach. It appears that this trail has been re-built and is now more switchbacked and less steep.
We added variety to the return walk on the beach by cutting over to the trail along the lagoon. This avoided an area of slightly slippery footing on the beach, too. Tide was pretty high.
Lots of others out enjoying this spot. We felt we had picked just the right thing to do on a sunny winter day.
