Mannholmen Anchorage

✨ Hidden gem

Mannholmen is a sheltered anchorage tucked into the Sandnes area of the Gandsfjord, giving you good holding ground and a calm spot to drop the hook away from the busier waterways. The surrounding landscape is classic southwestern Norwegian — low rocky outcrops, green hillsides, and that particular quiet you only get when the fjord traffic dies down. The town of Sandnes is within reach, so you're never far from supplies or a walk ashore if you need a stretch.
