Relatively narrow passage to the inner harbor, but it also provides extra protection.

description
Approach and maritime conditions: Natural harbour.
Good anchoring conditions. Good holding on clay bottom, 10 - 18m.
Be aware that the mooring for the floating pier NE in the harbour stretches across the strait.
Anchoring: Midway inside Hjartøyvågen, there is an eyebolt to which you can moor. Otherwise, the seabed is mostly sand and stone. Depth ranges from 3 meters to 30 meters.
The area: Beyond beautiful nature, there isn't much to point out, except for old ruins of farms.
On land, there is a sign describing the island's history from ancient times, where you can hear about old farming practices on Hjartøya.
There are Bronze Age graves on Hjartøya, which are signposted. From the middle of the bay, there is a beautiful view of the Seven Sisters to the east, and to Dønna in the west.
