description
Suitable anchorage for a night sheltered from southern winds before continuing the journey. The beach within is open to the public, but the rest of the island is a prison and restricted with a fence. Trash bin and outhouse by the beach.

description
Approach and maritime conditions: Good anchorage bottom but relatively shallow. Some waves from traffic across the fjord but otherwise a nice and sheltered overnight spot on the way in or out of the fjord. Since Bastøy is an (open) prison island, it might not be advisable to go ashore.
Anchoring: Anchoring depth 5-8m
