description
Well-protected harbor, only a 5-minute walk to the center where there are attractions, restaurants, shops, and laundry facilities. Be aware of occasionally very strong currents in Shapinsay Sound. There are water hoses on all the docks, and if you moor some distance away from the crane, they may not reach. It is possible to fill up on diesel when the harbor master is on duty, which is twice a day.
