Very shallow at the innermost part of the 'Kilen'. We were well anchored at about 5 meters depth in 20-25 knots wind from W/NW.

The approach is completely unproblematic, but be cautious as you go further into shallow areas. We anchored north of the SXK buoys at about 5m depth in 20-25 knot winds, had very good holding and slept well on our own anchor.

The bay is nice, but quite open so it doesn't feel as 'exotic' as many other anchorage spots that are more like lagoons. But definitely a very good alternative if you do not wish to stay at the guest harbor in Björkö or similar nearby. Well protected from SW to NW winds.

Just south of the anchorage, there is a fixed concrete pier where you can go ashore on Björkö, and you come directly onto a loop trail that is very nice for exercise or, for that matter, to walk to Björkö guest harbor for a bite to eat.

Attention! It seems like bad holding ground - several boats had to make multiple attempts to get a firm grip.

The anchorage is called Ryds kile. Easy approach, but very shallow at the innermost part of the bay. Good to anchor north of the SXK buoys. 3-6 meters depth, clay bottom.
Take the dinghy to the small sandy beach on the west side of the bay, where there is a nice hiking trail through the oak forest around the north side of the island, about 2 km to Björkö marina on the west side of the island.
