DIRECTION TO SITE
Oak Bay is boat access only. There is no upland access to this beach and there is no land access from Oak Bay County Park. This beach is just under one mile long from boundary to boundary. A distinguishing feature of Oak Bay is that the 48th parallel runs through the beach. The 48th parallel is about 0.3 miles north of the southern boundary of Oak Bay and about 0.6 miles south of the northern boundary (see photo of beach). Harvesters are advised to stay near the 48th parallel to avoid trespassing.
Nearest boat ramps: The Mats Mats Bay boat ramp (located at the southern end of Mats Mats Bay) is about 3.8 miles by boat from where the 48th parallel crosses Oak Bay .
FACILITIES None. There is a pit toilet at the Mats Mats boat ramp. There are facilities for boaters at the Port Ludlow Marina.
