Langley is a delightful small town on the eastern shore of Whidbey Island and makes a very pleasant stop for vessels taking the "inside route" between the San Juan Islands and Puget Sound, It has a remarkable range of high quality dining and drinking options all within 5 minutes walk of the harbour, several of which offer splendid views over the Saratoga Passage.

In calm weather it would be possible to anchor off the beach with Sandy point providing a small measure of shelter from any swell from the SE. However in NW or SE winds even the inside of the marina is exposed to swell and this would not be an ideal place to sit out a blow from these directions.

There is space for a couple of vessels longer than 30' on the hammerheads of the 2 inner pontoons, with further possibilities on the inner side of the outer concrete floating pontoons but manoeuvring room is tight and berthing in strong winds could prove difficult.

Inside the marina basin the depths were around 4.0m at LWS, but in 2019 we encountered extensive shoaling extending in a SE direction from the SE facing wooden breakwater wall with depths of around 2.0m at LWS, making entry marginal for deep draft vessels at or around LW.
