Bovallstrand is a small and very pleasant harbour with a couple of alternative dining places on or right by the dock. You will also find a great ice cream bar and some other shopping opportunities.
They have a very good ICA grocery store which is about a 4-500 meter walk to get to, but they have a rich selection if you need to stock up the refrigerator.
There is a very open and easy access into Bovallstrand. Mooring on the outside of the outer floating dock is done either alongside or using a mooring line. Here you should expect both some traffic waves from the outside, as well as some swell in NW/N winds as the waves come straight into the harbour.

Bovallstrand is a small town with a quite large marina (gästhamn).
You can moor alongside and towards floating docks and alongside a fixed pier. It’s also possible to anchor between the marina and Badholmarna.
The marina is well protected from southernly and westernly winds, and is a great alternative when it’s too windy for the natural harbours outside.
Older, but clean service house just inside the piers. Warm showers included in the harbour fee. No coins needed.
Bovallstrand has a few nice cafés and a small local bakery that I can reccomend. Despite the large parking spot in the center of Bovallstrand it’s a cosy place.

Want to know how the wind score works? Then you should read this explanation.
The wind forecasts come from yr.no (Norwegian Meteorological Institute), and was last updated 1 hour and 35 minutes ago (Thursday 05 December 04:27 AM). The next night score shows you the worst hour between 22:00 and 08:00 the next night. We recommend that you check multiple sources for wind forecasts. windy.com is a good website to show larger wind systems.
The safe wind directions for this harbour has been decided by an algorithm, based on how elevated the land around the harbour is. It's mostly correct, but sometimes the underlying data about elevation levels is not good enough to make correct decisions. It's a great help to other if you can validate or adjust the safe wind directions. You can see the data used by the algorithm to decide the safe wind directions by clicking here.
