6 Best and Fun Things To Do In Coupeville, Washington


TouristWire Editors

This small town on the eastern side of Whidbey Island has a plethora of attractions for tourists, such as a charming downtown area, scenic hiking trails, notable landmarks, and superb cuisine.

It also makes a great base from which to explore the surrounding area, being within easy reach of several other charming towns as well as the San Juan Islands.

Coupeville’s Front Street is home to several shops, bakeries, restaurants, and bookstores, all of which enhance the area’s charming historical character.

Another must-see is the wharf, built in 1905 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Before there was a bridge connecting Whidbey Island to the mainland, people would arrive in Coupeville via the wharf.

It’s an iconic landmark that also offers several amenities, including a marina with boat services, kayak rentals, a Marine Education Center, gift shop, restaurant, and café.
