Aerial photo, seen from the southwest. Denmark in the foreground. Taralden to the right in the middle of the picture. In the background, Oven and Kurefjorden. The island Denmark is connected to the mainland at low tide, and the rock fill to the mainland dampens waves from the heavily trafficked Larkollsundet closest to the picture.

description
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.

description
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.
