It is shallow along the quay, large boats should keep their propeller towards NW. Many people stroll around the area and the house is occasionally rented out. Sheltered and nice from S, SW, SE - north is directly exposed. Easy approach, mooring along a fine wooden dock.

A lot of crap on the quay (there is a pool here full of dead shellfish, a fish slaughterhouse that has never been cleaned, a freezer full of rotten fish due to power being off, etc.). Everything is closed during winter, 590 NOK in harbour fee. No electricity, water, etc.

A hellish noise from the commercial boats and their generators. Stay somewhere else.

There is a long way to electricity and you need at least 25 meters of cable, and there are regular white sockets. No trash bins. Water is at least 25 meters away. Far too many motorhomes.

Limited space for larger boats, had to resort to the floating dock where you fill diesel. Since we arrived late and left early, it went fine.

Easy approach, excellent floating docks with power and water. Waste disposal available.

A bit too many caravans, fortunately a bit away. Nice restaurant with good food. Limited walking area. Busy road right behind.

Nice sheltered harbour, but VERY noisy from fishing boats. Kiwi supermarket and boat equipment store nearby.

There is no longer a mooring buoy. Large parts of the bay are 40 meters deep.

Top spot, quiet and calm, great floating dock with plenty of space. All facilities in place. Joker supermarket nearby. Deep, calm, and a short distance to Grotlesanden.

We stayed for two days.

Very nice harbour in a fantastic area. The approach is simple, and the harbour has everything you need.

Great place, no cars or buildings of any kind. A few sheep, nothing more. Be careful to place the boat on the correct course when entering/leaving.

There are two buoys, whether they are for mooring is uncertain.

Great place, here you can dock at the quay or anchor. Sheltered and nice, as far from civilization as you can get. No shop, cars, etc., only sheep.

Excellent harbor at the outer edge of the open sea. On the way north and was impressed by the maritime quality and not least an open restaurant with delicious food. Feels great after a long sail from Måløy.
Not to mention, all the songbirds in the village participate with sing-alongs and entertainment.

On a trip north and staying overnight here. Closed toilets, half of the town center is dug up, water is shut off at the quay, but they still charge full price.

Always nice to come to Bakkasund. Store on the quay, open on Sunday with freshly baked buns on Sunday.

Deep and nice, a bit windy and some ship traffic. A decent place to land for a night. Fuel station and water.

Terrible pizza down the street.

Nice harbour, at times LOTS of downdrafts.

Nice area, but the quay is too small to dock with a boat. We couldn't find a spot and had to sneak into the shipyard and borrow a place. A bit disappointed, heard a lot about the place, but wasn't impressed.

Far too few guest dock spaces. There is space for 100 motorhomes and 10 boats, including two large ones. Anchored in the bay and paid nothing. The trip in is VERY long and terribly boring until you get to Geirangerfjord itself, which is just 10 nm. Geiranger center is dull, overrated, and really not worth going ashore. We took a bike ride in Geiranger and to call this a green fjord is completely off the mark. There's so much crap floating around, discarded rafts, tractors, trash, and remnants of past prosperity along the entire shore. Additionally, one might ask where the greywater from the village ends up. Only the fjord leading into Geiranger was something; we left the next day. This was a disappointing fjord, Sognefjord holds it in high regard.

I think this is the nicest guest pier I have been to.
