Ebeys Landing is a kitesurfing spot on the west coast of Whidbey Island, facing Admiralty Inlet. This site is part of the Ebeys Landing National Historical Reserve, the first national historical reserve in the United States. The beach offers exposed conditions with strong tidal currents and formed chop. The landscape of bluffs and prairies overlooking the inlet is spectacular. Advanced level required due to exposure and powerful inlet currents.
