Easy approach and mooring with anchor towards land. Approximately 1.4m depth.
The west wind comes in a bit but is not a major problem.
You can lie at anchor in the bay and there are several anchoring spots around here towards the land. Calm and sheltered.

Mud bottom. We struggled to get a hold with the anchor, with gusting winds at 12-14 m/s. The other boats had secured the anchor chain with rope, which seemed to help.
