Ebey's Landing National Historical Reserve was established in 1978 as the nation's first historical reserve. Today, it spans over 17,500 acres of farms still under cultivation, as well as the 19th-century seaport town of Coupeville, Battery Worth, Fort Ebey, the Jacob and Sarah Ebey House, and the Ferry House. The views from the trails on the bluffs offer a glimpse of the Salish Sea and the Olympic Mountains.

Price Sculpture Forest is in an old-growth forest right on the coast. There are all sorts of sculptures and whimsical art to wander around and discover.

In the spring of 1792, Joseph Whidbey, George Vancouver's chief navigator, sailed the HMS Discovery through the narrow passage now known as Deception Pass. He proved that it was not a small bay, as the Spanish had assumed, but a deep and lively channel that connects the Strait of Juan de Fuca with the Saratoga Passage and separates the mainland from the supposed peninsula, which turned out to be Fidalgo Island and Whidbey Island; hence the name "deception".

On Whidbey Island's western shore, Fort Ebey State Park, formerly a military outpost, stretches along 3 miles (ca. 5 km) of saltwater shoreline, encompasses Lake Pondilla, and weaves 25 miles (ca. 40 km) of trails. A segment of the Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trail traverses this haven, offering opportunities for picnicking, camping, fishing, beachcombing, and even paragliding.
