In 2003, the Whidbey Camano Land Trust purchased 1,200 feet of private tidelands adjacent to the county park at Libbey Road End and donated the land to the county as an addition to Libbey Beach County Park. Ther park is a great place to picnic, walk, explore the diverse nearshore environment and observe a wild variety of shorebirds. These include Harlequin Ducks that feed just offshore, Black Oystercatchers feeding on the rocks at low tide, Double-crested Cormorants, Common and Red-Throated Loons, Horned and Western Grebes, Surf Scoters, gulls and more. This acquistion protects access to the beach, tidepools, and bird habitat.
