Very good anchorage, and 5 SXK buoys.
Lots of seagrass in the northern part, also around the single SXK buoy there. I will avoid that part in the future.

The channel is open and simple, and well-suited for late arrivals after sunset.
It is idyllic and beautiful inside the lagoon, and you are well protected from almost all wind directions except winds coming directly from the S/SE. A small 'notch' in the mountain allows you to feel winds from due west, but the bottom is clay, providing an excellent hold if you just lay out a few extra meters of chain.
You have very good holding at depths of 5-10 meters.
There are also some SXK buoys here for those with boats that are sized for the buoys.
If you have a small RIB or similar, it is a short trip to Bovallstrand, which has a few select restaurants, a marina, and not least an ICA supermarket with a wide selection if you walk a few hundred meters from the harbor.

The shallower area at the very north of Håholmsdjupet has seagrass and poor holding. Elsewhere, there is clay with good holding.

Approach and maritime conditions: Valön is located immediately NNW of Bovallstrand. Easy approach from the south, which is the only way into the bay. Large natural harbor basin with space for many boats to anchor.
Anchoring: Valön is an anchorage. It is possible to moor against Långö, which forms the southwestern side of the bay. Anchorage depth from 4-10 meters.
