Mandal gjestehavn (Mandal kommune)
Mandal Gjestehavn sits right at the mouth of the Mandal River, stretching along the waterway as it winds through the heart of one of Norway's most charming small towns. With a max depth of 3.5 metres, it suits most leisure craft, and the central location means you're steps away from Mandal's famous white wooden houses, beaches, and the lively town centre. It's the kind of place where you tie up and immediately feel like you've arrived somewhere worth exploring rather than just stopped for the night.
