The anchor held on the first attempt. We have a chain and let out quite a lot due to a previous comment. It is fairly open to winds from all directions due to the flat landscape. Decent protection from north/northwest wind. Nice. Beautiful sandy beach.

A little north of where this natural harbour is marked on the chart, it is also suitable for anchoring. The chart shows Flata and Husebukta, marked with an anchoring symbol. It is actually a fairly large area with room for many boats. We got a good hold in the clay bottom.

Approach and Maritime Conditions: Well-protected lagoon surrounded by Denmark to the south, Taralden to the east, and the beautiful free beach at Larkollen to the north.
Anchoring: The approach is simple both southwest and north of Taralden, but be aware of shallows that are not indicated with depth in all electronic sea charts. Depths of 5-10 m. Sandy bottom, somewhat challenging holding if you are stingy with the chain.
After prolonged SW gales in the Skagerrak, you will experience swells and uneven waves entering the bay from the east, peaking as the bottom shallows.
Note also that gales from NE-SE will be unpleasant here.
The Area: Very popular outdoor area closely connected to the legendary Larkollen Camping. Shallow beaches, perfect for families with children who take the dinghy to shore.
