We will be in Whidbey Island in Mid June. Any recommendations on;
Where to stay? We have a 33' trailer and only over a weekend - hookup is not needed. We need to visit someone on the South end of island, so I'm thinking Deception Pass may be too far north.
Where is a good clam beach? Mainly looking for Manila clam or like
Check out Fort Casey. Outside of Coupeville. Not too far from Oak Harbor (also has a nice city park downtown) and Langley. The ferries dock right across from the park. Nice beach and you can watch the ships come and go through the straits.

Park features include old-growth forest, tidelands for crabbing and clamming, campsites secluded by lush, forest undergrowth and breathtaking views of the Puget Sound and Olympic Mountains.

Is Deception Pass the driveable entrance to Whidbey? I've been to Whidbey several times do not recall if I drove once? I do recall the pass, it is beautiful. Saw my first Bald Eagle there.
Ferry costs would be unbearable for a 35; with a toad.
