description
Farsund Guest Harbour is a pleasant stopover for sailors cruising along the South Coast. With modern facilities, a peaceful atmosphere, and proximity to Farsund town center, this is a harbour that makes life on a boat both practical and enjoyable.
Facilities
The harbour has clean and modern sanitary facilities with toilets, showers, and a washing machine. You have access to water, electricity (Schuko sockets, remember adaptors), and Wi-Fi, although the signal can be a bit variable.
Mooring
Mooring is done alongside a spacious pier with a depth of 2.4 meters. If the main quay by Coop Extra is full, you can moor at the quay on the opposite side of the harbour. The harbour operates on a first-come-first-served basis, so pre-booking is not possible, but it is always intended to have space for everyone. Be prepared for other boats to moor outside of you. The harbour is well-sheltered from most wind directions, although southwesterly winds can cause a bit of movement. Harbour dues are easily paid via Havneweb.
Location and Activities
The harbour is located in the heart of Farsund, with Coop Extra nearby for quick shopping. BUA, right nearby, rents out electric bikes, kayaks, and SUP boards, which are great for exploring the area (check www.bua.no). A short walk will take you to Farsund town center, where you will find pleasant streets, Torvets for a coffee or meal, and Lekteren "Bar Over" for a relaxed drink. Folkepuben is perfect for a lively evening, and the town square is a cozy gathering spot. Just 5-10 minutes' walk from the harbour is Farsund Badehus, a historical gem by the city beach at Naudodden. Here you can enjoy a modern sauna with a fantastic sea view (open 07:00-22:00, 150 NOK per person, booking at www.farsundbadehus.no), swim from a small sandy beach, or try the 10-meter high diving tower. The bathhouse is family-friendly with shallow water for children and opportunities for fishing from the pier. For a longer excursion, Lista lighthouse (15 km away) is worth a visit for great views, and the Lista beaches are excellent for surfing or kiting.
Atmosphere
Farsund Guest Harbour has a calm and friendly atmosphere, ideal for relaxing. There is no harbour master, so you have to manage on your own, but the harbour is well-organized and easy to like.
Practical Tips
• Booking: Pay the harbour dues via Havneweb. Arrive early in the high season to secure a spot.
• Sea Conditions: Check tide tables and weather forecasts, especially for southwesterly winds.
• Parking: Limited parking for land-based visitors.
• Recommendation: Bring an adapter for Schuko sockets.
Conclusion
Farsund Guest Harbour offers modern facilities, a great location, and a relaxed atmosphere. Whether you want to stock up on provisions, enjoy a coffee at Torvets, take a sauna at Farsund Badehus, or explore Lista lighthouse, this is a great choice for sailors. Highly recommended for a pleasant and practical experience!
