59°13,45’N 05°48,05’E. Nord-Talje is part of the archipelago Sjernarøyane. The cove Rossmarkvågen, on the south-western part of the Island, is often - by tourists - called "the blue lagoon". Here you are safe in all weather, but summers day the cove might become crowded. A Stavanger-sailor has made a sketch map of the bay. The area has a rich fauna and an interesting cultural history, including a marble quarry. There are fine moorings also among the islets near the cove, the same goes for the northern shores of Nord-Talje (Nota Homen has a pier). An interesting spot on the west side is Finnborg - a fortress-like mountain with å cove close by, used by the Vikings. Entrance is narrow and somewhat shallow. Try in fair weather. For Sjernarøyane, see also Nord-Hidle, further east. Be aware of a new bridge (max. 10 m.) between Nord-Hilde and the Island Tjul - to the north.
