Keystone Harbor is entered through a dredged channel just NE of Admiralty Head. A state ferry landing is at the head of the harbor. This landing is the Whidbey Island terminus of the passenger and automobile ferry that operates to Port Townsend. In 2001, the controlling depth in the dredged entrance channel was 23 feet, thence 15 feet in the harbor basin with lesser depths along the sides. A breakwater, marked by a light, protects the E side of the entrance. A private light on a concrete pile marks the W side of the entrance.
