description
Very pleasant harbour, well-marked hiking trails on the island. Easy approach from the east, departure towards the west was well-marked but narrow and with considerable swell at the outlet.

description
Approach and maritime conditions: Gamlekaien is located in the middle of Ydstebøhavn. The approach is well marked with guiding markers. It is worth noting that there are two rocks protruding by the wooden pier.
Mooring: Gamlekaien is Kvitsøy's guest harbor, along with the pier at Grøningen. It is more expensive to moor at Gamlekaien than at Grøningen. At Gamlekaien, you moor alongside, and when it is full, you have to moor on the outside. There is coin operation for the shower, while the washing machine and toilet are free. Short distance to store, and recreational area/beach.
The Area: The pier is located right below Kvitsøy lighthouse and the Coastal Administration's Traffic Station. The hiking trail starts at the lighthouse.
