Bopallen

Bopallen is Nordkoster's guest harbour at Östra and Västra Bryggan/Kosterlänken within Kosterhavet National Park on Sweden's west coast. The marina takes about 80 guest boats, and the depth at Östra Bryggan is 2-7 metres, where you can moor alongside or anchor. Behind the cable ferry Kosterlänken there are pontoon berths for day visitors.

All pontoons have lighting and power outlets. A guest harbour day runs from 15:00 to 15:00 the next day. In low season (14 March-14 June and 22 August-1 November) a boat under 10 m costs 250 SEK/day, while the high-season rate (15 June-21 August) is 310 SEK/day; larger boats pay more, and multihulls pay an extra 220 SEK. Payment is made via www.kosterhamn.se. If unsure about space, contact the harbour host, who decides how many boats can raft up alongside the floating pontoons - usually up to 3.

At the harbour you'll find a full sanitary building with toilets and coin-operated showers, a tap at the back where you can fill a water container, and a pump-out station for boat sewage on the east side of Västra Bryggan. There is also a barbecue area, facilities for household waste disposal on the quay at Västra Bryggan, and a defibrillator in Väntboden.

Close to the harbour are the restaurants Strandkanten and Galejen, and on the way up towards Basteviken you'll find Bastes café, shop and bakery.
