description
Approach and maritime conditions: Øitangen is located in Jomfrulandsrenna, at the very north of the island, about one nautical mile north of the guest harbour at Tårnbrygga. Approaching from both north and south with good markings.
Anchoring: Mooring areas with good seabed conditions for anchoring. The depth varies from 5 to 12 meters, depending on the distance from the shore. There is also a simple dock here with reserved spots, among other things, for visitors to the DNT cabins, in addition to a docking spot for taxi boats from Kragerø and Valle. It's shallow along the shore, so keep a bit of distance. Here you lie safely from all winds from the south and east, but the afternoon breeze from the southwest can be annoying. You can also clearly feel the waves from passing boats.
The area: Jomfruland offers great hiking opportunities, beaches, and attractions. A real summer paradise. At Øitangen, you will also find the DNT's cabin complex and the Bird Tower, which is set up at the very north of the island.
