Safe harbor, somewhat sensitive to southwest wind.
Very beautiful area for a walk.
Outhouse right across from the beach, behind a rocky knoll.

description
Approach and maritime conditions: Kuvauen is located at the outermost part of Vesterøy on Hvaler and is an anchorage without any facilities. Kuvauen is a popular harbor that is nice for families with children. The approach is straightforward and it is great to anchor in Kuvauen. Good depth. Approximately 7 meters.
Anchoring: Moor with anchor and shore line. Good seabed for anchoring with solid holding.
The area: Great hiking terrain, good beaches and camping spots.
Nice small bay with space for 4 - 5 boats. Looks a bit tight on the chart, but it works fine with 20 meters of chain for the anchor. Approximately 7 meters depth. Nice bathing beach at the innermost part of the bay, some daytime visitors with boats, but generally quiet in the evenings. Old fishermen's huts along the shore.
A bit exposed to winds from the south, but the reefs outside break the waves.
At the innermost part of the bay there is a nice, shallow bathing beach, ideal for children to play. There are built-up grills and benches/tables.
