description
Approach and maritime conditions: Fair weather harbor, access through the bay which is open from NE to SE. Good protection by a 300m high steep cliff on three sides.
Anchorage: Good anchoring bottom (sand) at 5-10 meters depth. You need to take a dinghy to the tidal stones. The pier at the location can be used, but it is old and difficult to get on top of at low tide.
The Area: The main point of the location is its proximity to the North Cape Plateau. After the 300-meter high ascent to the plateau on a partially steep but good path, it is just under a kilometer to the tourist attraction North Cape (free for those arriving on foot or by bicycle). Hornvika was the only access to the North Cape before the road opened in 1956, tourists were transported here by boat.
