description
Randøya is a great and good place to dock. In the summer, there is a kiosk serving simple refreshments like ice cream, waffles, coffee, and soda. A small beach with shallow waters makes it fantastic for children.
Nice hiking areas with lots of history!
The docks are narrow and can present problems when people like to cook on the docks, taking up a lot of space.
There is some scrap metal on the bottom, which can make anchoring somewhat challenging.
East, northeast has fantastic wind conditions here!

description
Østre Randøya is a former Coastal Fort that has been converted into an outdoor recreational area.
Pier facilities along the rocks, best suited for bow-in mooring as the rock slopes out under the pier in several places. Alongside mooring furthest in with great caution. Access for small boats through 'Skippergada' from the north. Larger boats and sailboats must enter from the south, which can be challenging in rough seas.
Nice hiking areas, water post up by the buildings. Toilets within walking distance.
