Kids love beaches! Relax on the deck while the kids dig in the sand and play by the water. Catching crabs and fishing are great family activites that kids, parents and grandparents enjoy (and the eating is good too). Whidbey Island has lots of other things for the kids to see and do. With luck, the kids will even look up from their video games!

Note that the summer fun doesn't have to end just because one parent needs to go back to work. Commuting to I5 corridor jobs from the Whidbey Island Beach House is a snap because you can walk to the ferry in 5 minutes. Leave the car (and ferry lines) in Mukilteo. Extend your stay at the beach. Special rates are available.
