description
Area: Hesnesøya and surrounding islands are an old, charming outport. Most of the buildings today are holiday properties. It is possible to walk in most places on the island, and also possible to reach the bare rocks on the other side of the island.
Maritime: The harbor is calm and well protected from winds from the south and southwest. However, it lies in the route between Grimstad and Arendal, so there can be boat waves.
Mooring: In the bay, boats can anchor freely. The bottom is good for anchoring. It is possible to tie up to the shore with the anchor at the stern towards the point northwest in the bay. Here you are well positioned, and larger sailboats can also easily come to shore. There are no alongside mooring opportunities here. On the same point, there is a private dock, which can be moored to by agreement with the landowner.
