Walls is a sheltered harbour, protected from southerly gales by the islands of Linga and Vaila, and has a public pier, a marina with two visitor berths. Deep draft yachts should use the new public pier.

As you approach the head of the harbour, take a wide berth around all shoals, and enter the marina to the north of the small island.

Power and water are available at both the Marina and New Public Pier opposite, which is recommended for larger yachts.

Snacks, drinks and supplies can be bought from the Walls Shop where there is a hot drink machine and microwave available for customers during opening hours.

There is a volunteer-run café on a Friday from 11-2pm in the local church and regular social events at the Walls Regatta Club and Public Hall.

The island of Vaila has an area of around 3km². It supports a magnificent Edwardian mansion, the largest house of its kind in Shetland, and the ancient watch tower, Mucklaberry Castle.
