A beautiful islet safely out of the weather in open sea and the city's hustle. With a medium-sized sailboat, we could not get anchor hold on the north side due to steep depth, and the anchor slid up the rock/stone from 25m depth. Some currents out of the fjord also made nose-in on the north side difficult. Longside with a sailboat was not possible for us. The south side has a calm bay. To the west in the bay, bolts and we got an anchor hold, with a sandy bottom shallowing so we did not reach land before we stood on with 1.8m. East in the bay also has bolts, but rocky ground where the anchor did not hold. The mountain slopes out underwater by the three bolts, so not well suited for longside. The pier was occupied when we were there, but it looks ok for nose-in even if you have 2m draft. Shallowest on the right side towards the beach. Uncertainty in anchor hold if you find a hold in rock/stone some boat lengths out, or shorter anchor hold in sandy ground closer to the pier. Finally, a bit further into the bay, on the east side, there is a crevice with flat rock and 4m depth, about 12m long. The left of the three east bolts aft and the boat with the bow in the crevice, a fourth bolt east further in and a few wedges in addition and you lie in a very calm place.

Good depth at the pier. Good opportunities for berthing alongside outside the pier as well. Sandy beach, grassy area, diving board, grill, waste disposal, and outhouse. Nice campsites.
