description
The rocks of Myken offer an unusual stopover, home to a micro-community of around ten people whose main activity is operating a whisky distillery.
Approach: from the south or from the north.
The anchorage is well protected from offshore swells, even in strong winds. It is recommended to anchor in 8 to 10 meters of water. It is important to choose your anchorage point carefully, as the seabed is composed of hard sand and several areas covered with large seaweeds.
A small supermarket is located onshore, with a post office. A daily ferry connection to the mainland is provided.
