For visiting boats

Arendal Gjestehavn at Tyholmen is one of the busiest guest harbours on the south coast, with more than 5,000 boat-nights in the summer months and about 170 berths; the inner harbour Pollen in the middle of town also counts as part of the guest harbour. Harbour hosts direct boats to a berth on arrival, and berths, power and facilities are booked and paid in the Havneweb app. Every berth has its own power socket (power included June–August), and the red service building has showers, toilets, washing machines and dryers. The harbour also has Norway's first floating, heated outdoor pool, and shops and restaurants are just 200 metres away.
