Middagsbukta

Middagsbukta sits in the narrow sound between Langåra and Brønnøya in the Vestfjorden outside Sandvika, about 10 km southwest of Oslo. Drop anchor here and you'll be joining the thousands who make this a summer ritual — it gets busy for good reason. The sheltered setting between the two islands makes it one of the most sought-after anchorages in the Oslo fjord area.
