Weather worn island beaches, Rhododendron garden, and lunch in Langley
Begin with a short drive to the ferry, then to the beach! A fantastic geologic wonder, the shore is created by eroded bluffs and shifting sands. There are large fields of driftwood, slabs of peat, pebbles and glacial erratic boulders on this beach.
Next stop Meerkerk Gardens with beautiful beautiful meandering paved and dirt trails through massive rhododendron, azaleas, and companion plants. With 53 acres of private gardens and woods, it’s a special day event. You can tell the gardens are groomed with love.
One more beach with a totally different look, feel, and view, then to Langley you go for lunch where you choose. There is the Orca Whale Center here with a gray whale feeding area, if the whales cooperate. The Orca whales J, K, and L pods are around spring, summer, and fall, and Minke whales also forage around in the Sound waters. A wonderful day and not too long, your memories with be happy ones.
