Farsund : Profile

Docking

Small town by the sea with good facilities for sailors, free showers and coin-machines for laundry. In the summer a representative from the tourist office walks the docks twice a day and talks to visiting sailors and give the information and small treats.

Farsund¹s harbour for visiting boats lies in the centre of the town, with shops, bank, post office, cafés and restaurants within easy reach. It has 40-60 moorings with access to water, electric power, sanitary facilities, refuelling, hiring of boats and diving equipment. The Tourist Information Office is near the main quay.

Some of the nearby islands have their own quays, toilets and grilling facilities.
