description
Great natural harbour at the outermost part of the coastline. It is easy to navigate in here, but outside there can be rather large waves from the sea. However, it is possible to arrive via the more protected inner route/Nyleia.
Austrevågen is protected from the sea's swell. It is a sheltered and well-protected harbour. The area is partially a recreational area, see https://vestkystparken.no/tur/vestkystparkelementer/022224 for comprehensive information. There is a small floating dock suitable for smaller boats, as well as mooring bolts in some places. It is possible to anchor, with a stern line to the shore or at the floating dock.
There is a sandy bottom in large parts of the bay and good holding for anchors.
There is a beautiful sandy bottom at the innermost part of the bay. On land, there are some simple paths where you can go for a walk. There is a coastal cabin that can be rented, more info at vestkystparken.no.
It is a short distance to Bakkasund where there is a grocery store, fresh water, and fuel.
