When approaching the breakwater in the strait between the islands, one should be cautious, as there are unmarked shoals here (marked on the chart). The depth along the east side of the breakwater is shallow (around/under 1 meter), here one should only moor with small boats.
A short trip over to Herdla (approximately 5 minutes) where there is water, gasoline, diesel, a 24-hour convenience store, a restaurant, and a bar/pub. Hotel Biologen at Herdlevågen was renovated in 2024 and is worth a visit. Here there is also a floating dock and a sandy beach.

Nice island with a lot of history as a former defense island. BOF, together with R.O. Boating Club, has helped upgrade the facilities. In 2022, they have put in place a toilet building (outdoor toilet), shelter, kayak ramp, rehabilitation of the piers, benches, and grill. A traditional boathouse is also under construction. The island has excellent facilities for overnight stays in a hammock, tent, and fire pits.
