59°21,304'N 05°387,565'E. To get to Hattarvågen, you must head north in Hervikfjorden, pass Hervik (were you might bunker) and steer to port at impressive Borgøya. Hattarvågen (bay) on starboard side. At the head of the bay there is a tourist facility with a well equipped guest pontoons, accommodation and a restaurant serving you traditional food like salted meat and potato balls called "komla". You may anchor also east in the bay, near a nice tiny beach. On Borgøy you can walk on beautiful trails and experience the place where the Norwegian painter Lars Hertervik was born. South of Borgøy the fjord narrows, and is scattered by small islets. A perfect place for kayaking. Further north, there is another tourist center with guest harbour, Bekkjarvikjå, on port side. On starboard side you find Øynarvågen with a small pier. Four nautical miles further on, the beautiful fjord reaches Skjoldastraumen, known for its extremely strong tidal currents. Due to this, Norways only sea water lock is located here. It is operated for a reasonable price, from the petrol station close by. See Havneguiden regarding phone booking.
