Keep it Real - Keep it Cool - Whidbey and Camano Islands

Keep it real
Keep it cool

Imagine a place where not one but two mountain ranges dominate the horizon. Glacier-covered peaks feed rivers that flow into the sound and sea. Two rural islands in that sea boast farms, forests, isolated beaches, and small towns.

These islands
are real

Whidbey and Camano Islands are an hour north of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. They welcome you with cool weather and wide-open spaces.

Thinking of visiting?
Stay in beach houses or cottages in the forest. You can even stay in a treehouse or “rough it” in cabins mere steps from where you set your crab pots last night.
