To get to Whidbey Island, take the Mukilteo Ferry. If you haven't been to Mukilteo before, just head straight down Mukilteo Blvd and follow the signs to the ticket booth. The ferry ride from Mukilteo to Whidbey Island takes about 20 minutes.

Upon arrival at the ferry dock on Whidbey, just drive off the ferry and head north for about 7 miles. Take a left onto Double Bluff Rd and follow to the end. It's about 10 minutes from the ferry to the beach.

Note that we're listing the time for this event as 9:00. That means aim to be on the 9:00 (or as close to that as possible) ferry. That'll put you at the off-leash park at about 9:30 - 9:45. Low tide (-2.5) is at 10:32, so we'll have plenty of beach to play on before the tide comes back in. We'll gather on the beach near the entrance to the off leash part of the beach. A herd of corgis is pretty hard to miss and we'll hang around the entrance till 9:45 before heading north up the beach.

For those who want to carpool, we can use the message board to facilitate that. If you are taking a car and have room for rider(s), please post; likewise, if you need a ride, post a request. You can match yourselves up and make arrangements to meet. A good place to meet is in the big parking lot to the left of the ferry dock, near the lighthouse.

Things to bring: Rubber boots or sandals would be good for the surf, binoculars for waterfowl, fresh water, towels, balls and cameras (of course).
