Visit Fort Casey and the Admiralty Head Lighthouse

Step back in time with a visit to Fort Casey State Park, one of Whidbey Island’s most iconic historic sites. Originally built in the late 1800s as part of the “Triangle of Fire” coastal defense system, Fort Casey features massive, century-old concrete bunkers, disappearing guns, and sweeping views of Admiralty Inlet.

While there, don’t miss the beautifully restored Admiralty Head Lighthouse. Perched on a bluff overlooking Puget Sound, the lighthouse offers panoramic views, a small museum, and exhibits that share the maritime history of the area. Climb the tower for a bird’s-eye view of passing ships and the surrounding coastline.

It’s a perfect spot for history buffs, photographers, and families alike. Pack a picnic, explore the trails, and enjoy a day steeped in both natural beauty and military history.
