Grimstad gjestehavn
Grimstad gjestehavn sits in a charming small-town harbour on Norway's sunny Skagerrak coast, known as one of the sunniest spots in the country. You moor alongside, keeping your speed to 5 knots in the inner harbour to keep the swell down — anchoring isn't an option here due to undersea cables. Showers are available for NOK 50, and the harbour is staffed daily from 11am to 10pm. Grimstad town itself is worth exploring, with its connections to Henrik Ibsen and a lively waterfront scene just steps away.
