The island of Helgøya is of breathtaking beauty.
Since 1999, it has been uninhabited. In winter, Kjerkevika takes on the appearance of a ghost village. However, although no one lives there year-round, some houses are used during the beautiful season, either as rentals or as secondary residences.
The island, along with its magnificent fine-sand banks, protects three anchorages: the first is sheltered from the south and east winds, the second from the north winds, and the last from the west winds.
The water is crystal clear, and it is easy to distinguish the areas of sand, seaweed, and rocks. The small port, with its unique pontoon, is private and reserved for clients.
Western anchorage (Kjerkevika): anchoring possible in 6 to 7 meters of water, on a bed of sand.
Beautiful hikes can be taken on the island.

Fair weather spot! We were anchored on the other side of the church than the point shown on this map.
Easy to go ashore, good hiking opportunities.
