About Rømø
Rømø is a Wadden Sea island of 129 square kilometres and around 650 residents, joined to the mainland by a 9 km road causeway. Its highest dunes reach only about 19 metres. Our houses are spread across the island, with the median near its middle. Most sleep about six, a fireplace is common and some have a sauna. The west coast is one long beach, up to 6 km wide in places. At Lakolk you can drive right down to the water, and kite buggies have their own area by Sønderstrand. Havneby, the largest settlement, has the ferry to List on Sylt. Evenings are quiet and mostly spent at home. From October dogs can run free on the beach and the island is at its quietest.
Is Rømø right for you?
- Best for
- Families and dog owners wanting a huge beach and space for kites
- Not for you if
- You want shelter from the wind, because the island is low, open and faces the North Sea.
