Langley is Whidbey Island's mecca for all things fun. Rent kayaks for a tour of Saratoga Passage, hike old-growth forests, dig for clams, ride some of Whidbey Island's most scenic roads with bucolic views of historic farms and seaside homes. Eagles soar above your heads as the whales breach on the horizon.
Kids of all ages will have hours of fun on the beaches digging for clams, catching sea-life in tide pools, or finding water-worn beach rocks and shells. They can explore the castle at South Whidbey Community Park or participate in one of the many children's programs through our local theaters. While you're here, don't miss one of the many special showings at the historic Clyde theater.
