The harbor marked on the map here is called Loshavnen and is the best-protected harbor. The entrance is a bit narrow due to a small 'breakwater' at the entrance. The greatest depths for larger boats are along the pier right after the entrance, and it quickly becomes narrow if there are boats along the pier.
Alternatively, it's possible to enter 'Bredbågen' which is by the inn. Right outside the inn, it is shallow, and it is the pier where catamarans dock with passengers to/from Hamburgsund. However, on the opposite side of 'Bredbågen', there is a pier that can be used, but you should ask the harbormaster first. It is believed that this pier gives priority to 'Dykleif,' which is the west coast's most active and best dive event company.
At the latter pier, there are no bollards, so you either have to borrow the fixed ropes there or dock when the wind is a bit calmer, especially if it's coming from the south. There is approximately 3.5m depth at this pier.
It is possible to book a sauna and hot tub by calling the inn. These are saltwater hot tubs, and you will be served all kinds of drinks by the hot tubs on the pier, and the atmosphere is simply magical.

Updated August 2025: The old pilot harbor is now operated by Väderöarna Inn. There are toilets, showers, a garbage room, and the possibility of electricity. There are separate fees for these facilities in addition to the harbor fee. The harbor often gets completely packed during the high season, so no one can get out. At 10 AM, there is a joint departure for boats leaving the harbor, after which the harbor quickly fills up with new boats. You can reach the harbor master at +46 703 38 00 87.

Väderöarna is a group of small islands and skerries located some distance out at sea off Fjellbacka. Here lies an old lighthouse station with a small harbor. The lighthouse is automated, but the lighthouse service operates a guest harbor here. This is the only state-operated guest harbor I know of; otherwise, most are municipal. There is also a cafe here.
Väderöarna is preferably visited in calm weather since they lie out in open sea, but then it's extremely popular in return. The small lighthouse harbor doesn't have many spots, but in the bay outside, more boats can anchor in calm wind conditions. There are also natural harbors on the islands.
It is a fantastic nature experience to be here. There is a hiking trail you can follow around the island, and the sunset is incredibly beautiful. There is an old lookout tower where a local association runs a museum. There is also a cafe here where you can sit on the pier and have a beer.
