Approach and maritime conditions: Sindingsbukta is a small calm harbor with a beautiful view north towards Oslo. There is a swimming pier and nice sandy bottom inside the bay.
Anchoring: Most people anchor off as it is tight to moor to land. Swimming areas prevent you from getting too far into the bay. It can be difficult to get a good hold with the anchor.
The Area: The coastal path connects and you can take nice walks north and south on Nesodden.

Approach and maritime conditions: The approach is trouble-free, no reefs, but expect some waves from boat traffic.
Anchoring: You can moor against the shore or anchor, there is very good holding on a stone bottom if anchored, but it gets deep quickly.
The area: Sjødalstrand on Svartskog is a beautiful area with great hiking opportunities along the coastal path or in Svartskog. The plum orchard at Sjødalstrand is gorgeous in the spring. A visit to Roald Amundsen's home is nice, or a walk up to Svartskog colonial store. Probably the place with the longest evening sun in this part of the Oslo fjord.

It is a delightful place, with good shelter from the southwest. Afternoon sun. Some waves from passing boats. There are no moorings in the rock, but on the small islet in the picture, there are moorings.

Note: There are several water pipes in the strait. Check nautical charts.

Approach and maritime conditions: Innermost in Bunnefjorden, a very nice approach passing by Breivoll.
Anchoring: There are poor bottom conditions (mud/sediments) so it is not recommended to stay there if there is a lot of wind. OK protection against wind from the northwest, but do not stay there in wind from the north.
The area: Innermost in Bunnefjorden lies Breivoll, a beautiful beach area. The kiosk at Nesset is said to have the best soft ice cream in Eastern Norway, and many people flock here. There is also a boat shop here (http://www.trebaten.no/), a home/hobby shop, and a grocery store. Good bus connections to Oslo and Drøbak, and only a few minutes bus ride up to the Vinterbro center which has almost everything.
