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.

The lagoon is often home to a host of waterfowl and can be accessed by both the Bluff Trail and the Beach Trail. The beach by the lagoon is also a fun spot to watch ships rolling in and out of Puget Sound.

North Beach sits within the boundaries of Deception Pass State Park and features one of the most "inviting" environments in the park.

The North Beach Trail follows along the shores of the beach and features continuous views and access to the water.

The Bluff Trail offers awe-inspiring vistas of the Strait of Juan de Fuca and the beach below.
