What a beautiful and tranquil anchorage.
Excellent ground for anchoring. Sand / mud.
Depth where we anchored was 6.5 m.
We did not see any mooring bolts. Perhaps these can be found on the nearby islet of Gitkilholmen.

Good holding ground and shelter from weather and wind. Be mindful of the shallow area on the starboard side when entering.
