Food scene
Favs - spinach pies and freshly made sandwiches made to order. And grab at least a wee cone of the house made ice cream while you are there! You don’t have to be a member to shop here. They have a great gift shop upstairs too with lots of fun funky stuff

This is a tiny place but so good! Plan on waiting or just grab take out! The best thai food in town. My favorites are the Larb Gai, Tom Kha soup with chicken and of course the Pad Thai! Very spicy! Order zero stars if you do NOT like spice.

Beach - hiking
Love the lighthouse point hike and the view of the deception pass bridge. The bay is a great place for kayaking even if you are inexperienced. There is a sandy beach and a rocky beach and plenty of picnic space and trails

I’d rent a car or truck
Things are pretty spread out here and we have a bus system but the buses don’t run is often as they do in bigger cities and Uber is not as quickly available here.
