Double Bluff, Whidbey Island

This state park is located southwest of Freeland on Whidbey Island.  When the tide is out the Useless Bay Tidelands are hundreds of feet wide.  The 24,354 foot stretch of beach includes a two mile long Double Bluff Beach Off-Leash Area.  Double Bluff has stunning views of Mt. Rainier, the Seattle skyline, the Olympic Peninsula, and shipping lanes.  The park includes a picnic area, viewing benches, rest rooms and a rinse station. 

This is the view from Lancaster Road, about a mile from the beach.
In both of these photos, one can just barely see the Space Needle on the horizon at the right edge of the scene.
