Rømø

Rømø is a Danish Wadden Sea island located off the southwest coast of Jutland. It is Denmark's sixth-largest island and is known for its wide, flat beaches and extensive tidal flats. The island is connected to the mainland by a causeway, making it easily accessible by car.

The landscape of Rømø is characterized by vast expanses of sand, dunes, and salt marshes. Its beaches are among the widest in Europe, stretching for many kilometers. These beaches are popular for activities such as sunbathing, windsurfing, kitesurfing, and land yachting. The Wadden Sea, a UNESCO World Heritage site, surrounds Rømø and is a vital ecosystem for numerous bird species and marine life.

The main settlement on Rømø is Lakolk, which also serves as a popular campsite. Other villages include Havneby, the island's main harbor, which has ferry connections to Sylt, Germany, and Sønderho, a charming village with well-preserved 18th and 19th-century houses.

Rømø's economy is largely dependent on tourism, with visitors drawn to its natural beauty and recreational opportunities. The island also has a history tied to the sea, with former wealth derived from shipping and whaling. Today, Rømø offers a peaceful retreat and a chance to experience the unique natural environment of the Wadden Sea.
