About
Oak Harbor City Marina is a public ocean beach in Washington, about half a mile from the town of Oak Harbor, within the Sea Plane Base land unit. The beach has restrooms, swimming is allowed, and there is no fee. Typical averages from the nearby Whidbey Island NAS weather station point to July and August as the warmest months, with highs around 69 to 70°F, lows near 54°F, and only about six wet days each month. June and September are close behind, with highs in the mid to upper 60s and around nine wet days. Winter is cool and damp: December and January average highs near 49°F and lows around 38°F, with 16 to 17 wet days a month and about one snow day. Spring warms gradually, from the mid-50s in March to the low 60s by May, as rain tapers off. Moyers Loop is about 3.6 miles away and Nature Nurtured about 4.6 miles. Paddlers and campers can look to the Cascadia Marine Trail Campsite at Joseph Whidbey, roughly 4 miles off, or the one at Fort Ebey State Park, about 7.7 miles away.
