Visited this town in 2022, but anchored north of the breakwater. Good holding ground, adequate depth. Nice dinghy dock in town after a slightly long dinghy trip to the innermost part of the harbor, and further under the bridge on the south side.

Stayed here in W-NW wind, good shelter and plenty of space to anchor. Easy approach from NE. Remember that approaching directly from the south is obstructed for sailboats by two spans from Mørkholmen. Experienced good holding ground, we had the anchor on a 2.3-3 meter depth, but upon retrieval, there was a large clump of a mixture of seaweed and clay on the anchor. The anchor chain was also partially filled with clay, so washing the chain on the way up was necessary.

A decent place to stay overnight in westerly weather. Seaweed can cause some varying depth indications, but the 3.1-meter mark is accurate under normal water levels (verified by snorkeling). The fishing harbor is nearby; otherwise, the surroundings are calm and not particularly exciting.

It is okay to anchor, and there are also some buoys available. Good shelter from S-SW winds. Little noticeable current. There is a busy channel to the north, but it is not very noticeable.

Parts of the pier facility have limited depth.
