The waterfront district has many small shops, as well as a variety of

The entire town of Coupeville is central to a unique unit of the National Park Service called Ebey's Landing National Historical Reserve . This area has remained much as it appeared when settled. It encompasses three state parks and is laced with easy trails and clear vistas. The area within the Ebey's Landing boundaries tells a dramatic story of Northwest history, Native American culture, European settlement, historic forts and more.

The entry to Fort Casey State Park is adjacent to Keystone Landing. A well known structure, the Admiralty Head Lighthouse, is inside this park. Fort Casey State Park  is known for the maze of massive gun-mounts, open fields and beautiful bluffs.

The Coupeville Arts Center sits squarely in the middle of all of this and some of the friendliest people on earth.
