Langley Boat Harbor

Great little getaway whether close to home or as a stopping place on a longer journey. This breakwater-protected facility offers transient moorage May to September and permanent moorage from October through April. Large float provides 200' of visitor moorage uninterrupted by pilings. No reservations taken, although limited rafting possibilities assure that most, if not all, can find moorage. Twenty and 30 amp power available, as well as water, waste pump-out barge, showers, and a launch ramp. Located on the southeast shore of Whidbey Island, this is a perfect stopover. The charming town of Langley overlooks Saratoga Passage and is a short walk from the waterfront. Restaurant offerings range from gourmet pizza to seafood, Mediterranean to pub food, and several options in between. Excellent wine selection, fresh produce, and gourmet goodies available at the general store. Several coffee shops and a bakery offering delectable pastries. Shops include bookstore, grocery, and pharmacy, as well as several galleries, clothing shops, and antique stores. Library provides internet access and US Post Office is across the street from City Hall. Special times of the year include: last weekend in February (Mystery Weekend); March-May when gray whales visit the shallow Langley shoreline to feed on sand shrimp; second weekend in July for the annual Choochokam arts and music festival; and third weekend in August for the Island County Fair. At all times of the year, visitors will enjoy beautiful vistas of the Cascade Mountains, eagles in flight, herons along the shoreline, and both sunsets and sunrises over Saratoga Passage. Walking tour map is available at the Chamber of Commerce (near corner of Second and Anthes), and their number is 360-221-5676.
