Crescent Harbor is a semicircular bight 2 miles in diameter, between Forbes Point and Polnell Point. Polnell Point is wooded and rather bold, and connected to the main island by low ground, giving the point the appearance of an island from a distance off. A shoal extends about 0.9 mile W of Polnell Point; another shoal extends about 0.2 mile S from this point. Shoals extend about 0.7 mile S and E from Forbes Point; the S shoal is marked by a lighted buoy. Foul ground surrounds these points, but otherwise the harbor is clear, affording anchorage in 10 to 11 fathoms, muddy bottom. The harbor is exposed to the S.
The large pier of the U.S. Naval Air Station, Whidbey Island, extends from the W side of the harbor. Depths of 26 feet are alongside the outer two-thirds of the pier. A 183-foot T-pier used for fueling Naval vessels is on the N side of the main pier near the shoreward end.
Oak Harbor, just W of Crescent Harbor, is a semicircular cove about 1 mile in diameter with depths of 20 to 9 feet. Maylor Point, the E point of the entrance, is foul with several rocks, awash at low water, 0.5 mile SE from the point. The natural entrance channel is marked by lights, lighted, and unlighted buoys.
