Description

Natural harbour and anchorage

NV Cruising Guide

Navigation

The approach from the north is unproblematic. Once in the sound, keep closer to Stora Klövskär than to Kyrkogårdholmen. Coming from the south, keep close to the small island off Klövudden (southwest tip of Otterön) to stay clear of the rocky surf 100 m out.

Berths

You lie off stern anchor at the points marked on the chart at 2 - 3.5 m water depth at Stora Klövskär or at 1.5 - 2.5 m at Otterön and Kyrkogårdsholmen. There is protection from all winds, especially from southwest to northwest and from northeast to southeast. The sandy and silty bottom is well suited for anchoring in water depths of 9 - 15 m. Usually a light current sets northward of less than 1 knot and rarely more.

Surroundings

Stora Klövskär is very popular thanks to the good harbour and always well attended. Nevertheless, there is usually still a place for another ship. The island is a bit barren, but has good bathing rocks and offers a fantastic view. Otterön is a beautiful and popular nature reserve. The landscape is characterized by bare rocks, heath land where many (protected) orchid species grow. There are interesting fossil shell beds.
