Gibralter Road drops down into the idyllic community of Dewey Beach, which sits upon a gentle rise of land overlooking Similk Bay and Whidbey shores. The entire neighborhood can be taken in with a single sweep of gaze. On a sunlit day, residents may pause and take in the diamond sparkles dancing on the waters or linger to watch pleasure boats make their way along the backside of Whidbey Island. Summer days bring the fury of gardening chores or leisure of an oyster barbecue. Residents walk their dogs or stroll the private beach. There is a curious mix of homes in this area, from the grandest to the most humble, and somehow the concoction melds into an overall impression of finery.
