Ebey's Landing — Saturday, Sep. 10, 2022

Puget Sound and Islands > Whidbey Island
The small beach parking lot

The official beach trailhead parking lot (roughly a dozen cars) was full on Saturday at 2:20 pm but the road along the beach still had a few places on the shoulder even though there were about 40 cars.  The shoulder parking did not require a Discover Pass.

We walked the beach a bit. It was pleasantly compact sand so easy going.

We also drove by the parking lots at the bluff trailhead. The cemetery lot (a dozen cars) had a few openings, and the second lot was about half full (approx. 16 capacity).

Maybe it was the heat and smoky air that kept more people away? BTW, the temp on the beach was more pleasant than on the bluff.
