Visit Bayview!
The seaside village of Langley is
a mixture of bustling new businesses, established favorites, historical
buildings, and close knit neighbors. The heartbeat of the
artistic community on South Whidbey, there are half a dozen gallery
windows on the main streets of Langley full of original sculpture,
paintings, and eclectic art. Many of the treasures are created
by local artists and artisans.
Langley has wonderful
performing arts, too. Whidbey Island Center for the Arts (WICA) is an
intimate theatre, for smaller engagements, allowing the actors and audience
interaction. The South Whidbey High School offers a number of plays
and music in their 2/3 Broadway stage. You will want to mark your
calendars for the Middle School Jazz Concerts, too! The Clyde theatre
occasionally hosts live local theatre. An established treasure, The
Whidbey Childrens' Theatre is offering a wide range of theatre and
instruction at their new home in the Porter Building.
The only incorporated city on
South Whidbey, Langley provides warmth and convenience both day and night.
Numerous specialty shops line the street for daytime shoppers interspersed
with quainter eateries offering varied cuisine.
Evenings often
feature entertainment at local restaurants and the Clyde theater, which shows
cultural movies during the week, and blockbusters on the weekends.
The seaside village of Langley
wouldn't be complete without a marina. The small boat harbor gives
overnight moorage to everyone, with a limited number of slips available for
permanent moorage. This lovely marina is within walking distance of
Main Street.
Parks are tucked in all around
Langley for local and tourist enjoyment. The Seawall Park is an
extensive open space for beachcombing, and whale watching. Langley
Downtown park is an artist's dream complete with game boards, inviting
sitting areas, and a grass labyrinth. The Langley Community Club just
completed an active playground at the corner of 2nd and deBruyn.
Sandy Point, just east of
downtown, is currently an exclusive enclave of mostly vacation homes and was the summer home to the Samish tribes for gathering clams, fish
and berries.
