Fort Casey Historical State Park sits on the central west side of Whidbey Island. Visitors can explore old military gun batteries and the Admiralty Head Lighthouse, which was built in 1903 and has its own interpretive center and gift shop. The park also offers beach exploration, fishing, boat launching, and scuba diving at the nearby Keystone Underwater Dive Park. Around 1.8 miles of hiking trails connect to the Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trail, and 48 unsheltered picnic tables serve day visitors. Day-use parking requires a Discover Pass, and the lighthouse tower admits small groups at a time.
