description
Ekkerøy is a nature reserve and a gem. There are two large beaches that offer excellent conditions for surfing. Great hiking opportunities on the peninsula. Rich birdlife and fauna. One gets close to the kittiwake colony on the cliffs on the south side. A short distance to miles of trails on the Varanger Peninsula.
In the summer, there is a restaurant on the pier that offers local food. Great atmosphere and very good food.
There is easy navigation. It is possible to dock on the west side of a floating pier if you do not have a deep draft. Otherwise, there is plenty of room to anchor. Sandy bottom with good holding.
A breakwater protects against swells from the Barents Sea and winds from the SW, but the harbor is exposed to winds from the W-NW. There are no facilities on the pier.
