A small, charming North Whidbey city, and home to the men and women of Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, Oak Harbor hugs the northern shoreline of Penn Cove. All the many types of Whidbey Island lifestyles and properties can be found here: in-town homes, condos, investment properties, commercial property, building lots, land, farms, high bank waterfront home sites and beach communities. The waterfront features the popular Windjammer Park, the Harborside Shops, located in the old town district, and the Oak Harbor Marina which provides full marine services. North of town lie the spectacular, rocky cliffs of Deception Pass and its breathtaking bridge. To the west and the setting sun are the sandy shores of West Beach. Surrounding the south edge of town rolling farmlands overlook Penn Cove.
