Puget Sound Sunset
Whidbey Island's west coast offers a grand view of The Puget Sound and the Olympic Peninsula. Fort Ebey State Park on Whidbey's west coast features easy access to a varied beach that includes large stretches of driftwood and sand, small boulder and cobble shorelines, cliffs, and an expansive view of the sound and the peninsula beyond.
This is Point Partridge where the beach is armored with cobbles and boulders. Point Partridge is where The Puget Sound merges with The Strait of Juan de Fuca. It is also a convergence zone of longshore drifts along Whidbey's west coast which explains the concentration of cobbles and boulders.
I highly recommend visiting Whidbey during the off season. I had the beach and this sunset all to myself.
