Great place to anchor with the bow towards the rocky shore. There is an opportunity to take a short walk around the island, and if you're lucky, you might encounter goats.
It is a short distance to Furutangen, and Skartveit (where there is a store, etc.)

This is a great place to dock. Easy to moor to the quay or anchor off the rocky shore. Nice spot to set up a tent, and an area for social gatherings.
It is also nice to take a walk around the island and find a secluded spot for yourself.
During the high season, the environmental station is emptied and the grass is mowed about once a week.

A very nice and popular place, with a fine dock and good opportunities for anchoring against the rock face. Good barbecue spots, and a nice place for everyone.

This is a nice place if you want to have some time to yourself. It's good to moor to a buoy and secure to the shore. There are no bolts for securing to the shore, so you need to bring these with you. If you have a dinghy, you can take a trip to shore and light a campfire or barbecue.

This is a spot at Fjøløy Fort. The fort/harbor is located northwest of Mosterøy, and is a great place to stop. Good depth at the quay, and there are good opportunities to light up the grill or make a bonfire.

Nice and quiet place, with good docks and mooring facilities. Power and water on the dock, and refueling options at the innermost part of the harbor.
The store is unfortunately closed.
Good hiking opportunities if you orient yourself a bit.

This is one of the favorite spots, and you should be early to get a place here. There might be a number of small boats coming to enjoy the island, and if you're lucky, you'll meet sheep.
There are good opportunities to find wood for the evening's fire, and you can take a small walk around the island. There is also a rope swing in a tree of good quality.
At this spot, you will have a great time

This harbor belongs to the Norwegian Petroleum Museum, and permission (payment) from them is required. You have to go to the museum reception and pay. It costs the neat sum of 500 NOK for 3 hours.
It was a crisis solution for us, as there was no space elsewhere.
During the museum's opening hours, one can surely use the toilets. There is also a playground next to the dock, and a short distance to shops and restaurants.

There is easy access by sea when coming from the city fjord.
