description
A well protected natural anchorage on Björkö’s east coast and a good stop before making the jump north to Öregrund archipelago. It feels and looks like a lake.
Access is straightforward through the channel between Lilla Änklingen and Björkö, with approximately 3.5 metres of water in the entrance. There are no shore moorings, so vessels anchor freely within the bay. There are two shallow patches of less than 2 metres should be avoided that are visable on standard charts. Once anchored, the bay is well protected from winds from any direction.
