description
A natural harbor with good anchoring conditions, but the place is somewhat weather-exposed, especially with northerly winds. The old cemetery on Risøya is incredibly beautiful and should be visited if you are in the vicinity. The old trading post Finnkroken located nearby on Reinøya is also worth a visit.
Naturally, there are no facilities other than reasonably good hold for the anchor.

Risøya and/or the surrounding seas is not well protected from strong winds and waves, and you should take caution in foul weather. Click to edit protection level.
Risøya is surrounded by high hills or mountains. When strong winds come from the mountainous side there is a risk of turbulent or katabatic winds (also called "fall winds"), which may be rather unpleasant. In such conditions, you should not rely on the wind protection score for the coming night. Click to edit.
