Nice and sheltered harbour. Some seaweed, so check that the anchor holds. Many nice paths and roads on land. North wind pulls through, but plenty of room for swinging at anchor.

The approach is smooth both from the north and the south. Nice anchoring area with a depth of 10-12m

Only room for one sailboat to swing in the south. Great place. The harbor is tight for swinging and make sure your anchor is set as there are some well-marked rocks in the middle of the bay. Good depth, but had trouble getting the anchor to hold due to seaweed.

Easy to arrive and good protection from western winds. A lot of waves from the high-speed boats passing by

Nice and cozy harbour. Friendly harbour master who directs in the harbour. The harbour is not large, so if you are arriving with a 40-foot boat or larger, they would appreciate you informing them in advance so they can plan for you. Contact them by phone or email. Otherwise, there are great walking opportunities along the beach and there is a nice forest with a large area for dog walking on the other side of the railway.

A great harbour. However, the blue buoy complicates anchoring at swing when the wind direction changes. It quickly becomes cramped.

Okay to anchor within the mussel farm with good holding ground. This bay is more sheltered from the west wind than the one directly north.

Nice and spacious swinging harbor with depths of 3-7m. It is also possible to lie with a stern anchor towards the islets in the west. Some boat traffic through the harbor during the day.

Stopped by to find an anchoring spot. Many alongside berths and mooring bolts on shore. It should also be possible to anchor, but it seemed cramped. The 12m depth made it challenging to get a grip.

We thought this anchorage was too busy and decided to find a new swinging area

Attention! It seems like bad holding ground - several boats had to make multiple attempts to get a firm grip.

Easy to approach and you can take a dinghy to the shop in the bay inside. But, it is deep and quite busy here. We struggled to get a hold and moved before nightfall.

Nice to lie on the inside, but be cautious mooring alongside on the outside unless you have a large boat. Throughout the day, there are many waves from active boat traffic.

Swing at 12-15m. Watch out for pipelines and cables. These are well marked on the chart.

Easy approach and good space at anchor on a mud bottom. Easy to come ashore at Styrsø where there is a good and developed trail network with several lookout points.

Det er mulig å ankre litt nord for gjestehavna. Lun vik når det blåser mye fra vest. God beskyttelse for vind og god leirbunn for ankring.

Gjestehavn lenger inne med søppelcontainer. Også stor matbutikk 300m unna. Muligheter for å stupe fra stupetårn og spille minigolf.
