Penn Cove, whose glassy surface belies an abundance of marine life is located north of Coupeville. A lovely backdrop for a calendar of festivals and special events. Coupeville's historic inns, friendly pubs, fine restaurants, and intimate B&B's beckon visitors to stay and relax. Home to the Island County Historical Society Museum, Coupeville also has a boat launch and a historic wharf for transient moorage. The more time you spend here, the more you appreciate the attraction to artists. From the sweep of the beach at Ebey's landing during a storm to a delicate spiderweb on a foggy Penn Cove morning, the sights, moods, weather, and light weave a beguiling tapestry of vista and visual vignette. Walk along Penn Cove before dawn or return to Ebey's Landing for a memorable sunset.
