There is an outhouse on land. The Outdoor Recreation Board is constructing a Grindbygg on land in Nov 23. Be aware of shallow waters along the shore in the area. Regards, Hans Petter Beerge

description
Approach and maritime conditions: Burøyna/Visterøy are connected and used to be a military installation. From the top of the islands, there is a beautiful view southward into Korsfjorden. The approach to the harbor on the north side of the island is well marked from both east and west. A scheduled boat passes through the sound at regular intervals.
There are several beautiful and sheltered coves to moor in on the north side of the islands. Good depth for sailboats near the pier, but it shallows quickly toward the mountain. Larger sailboats lie best at anchor or at the main pier. On the north side of the sound, there are several beautiful coves with good depths.
At the main quay, you should moor with the bow toward land (there are notices about this on the quay), and the stern with a rope on an outlaid buoy (4 pieces) so that there is room for as many boats as possible. Note that the buoys are quite far out, so you need fairly long ropes to use them.
Anchoring: Here there are several options for mooring, against a fine pier with bow mooring to fixed buoys, along a floating dock (mainly for kayaks), or against land with a stern anchor. In addition, there are excellent conditions for lying at anchor.
The Area: Beautiful barbecue spots and wooden pier, but there are neither trash bins nor outhouses here.
There are good opportunities for a walk around the islands with visits inside bunkers and military installations.
Exciting for both adults and children.
