A quiet convenient coastal community
Located a few miles south of Oak Harbor and across Penn Cove from Coupeville, Penn Cove Park offers residents all the natural beauty of Whidbey Island without sacrificing access to urban amenities. While its water views and access might stand out the most to visitors, residents appreciate its proximity to Oak Harbor’s retail and Coupeville’s hospitals. “It feels like a more scenic secluded area, but unlike the scenic neighborhoods in South Whidbey, you don’t have to drive 20 minutes for shopping,” says Realtor Christie Arnold of RE/MAX Gateway, who has lived and worked in the area for over seven years. “The sound is right there for fishing or boating, but it’s close enough to Oak Harbor for easy shopping, and even close enough to commute to the Whidbey Island Station.”

Penn Cove’s waters
One of the main attractions of Penn Cove Park is access to the great outdoors. Penn Cove itself is a hub for water-based activities, including kayaking, boating and fishing. The cove is known for its mussels and for the pod of orcas that occasionally passes through. Residents get access to the private beach that runs along the neighborhood’s coast, as well as the neighborhood boat ramp. Ebey's Landing National Historical Reserve, which commemorates George Vancouver's exploration of Puget Sound and Colonel Isaac Ebey's settlement of the area in 1850, was the U.S.’s first historical reserve. This protected area offers hiking trails with views of the coastline and access to historical sites. The reserve is a popular spot for both locals and visitors, providing a mix of cultural heritage and natural beauty.
