description
In this bay, it is well sheltered from east and south winds.
At the innermost part, there are two headlands with designated spots where one can moor to bolts in the rock.
Otherwise, one can lie on much of the rocky surface on the starboard side in here.
In the middle of the bay, a little to starboard, there is a shoal of 1.1 meters.
Lawyer and judge Henrik Lundh (1905-85) was concerned that people in the district were selling fine beach locations to "rich easterners" and therefore bought this island which he bequeathed to the municipality with conditions to maintain the landscape through conservation and manage the area with, among other things, cultural grazing.
Great hiking trails on the island with its diverse flora and fauna.
Burial mounds are strategically located along the old rowing route that then went over the isthmus further inside the island.
