Skarø Havn

Welcome to Skarø Harbour

Even though Skarø is tiny, the island is full of life – known for its local specialties, amazing ice cream, cozy concerts, beautiful nature, and that unmistakable island vibe.

Harbour fees can be paid online here on the site or via the QR code posted at the harbour. The entrance is easy, and on a good summer day the harbour can get busy – but with a bit of teamwork, there’s (almost) always room for one more boat. You’ll find toilets, showers, a kitchen, washing machine and dryer – plus picnic tables and built-in electric grills.

Farm shops & the island’s famous ice cream

Skarø Ice Cream is organic and comes in many delicious flavours. At the Ice Café you can enjoy lunch or dinner, order fresh breakfast rolls, and pick up basic groceries. If you prefer to cook yourself, the farm shops and roadside stalls around the island are stocked with fresh local products.

At Sommersild Naturpleje, you can buy lamb meat and skins directly from their own farm shop.

Fun for kids

By the harbour there’s a playground and great crab fishing spots. Just nearby you’ll find a small football pitch and a lovely sandy beach.

Skarø village

Skarø village is as charming as it gets – with winding roads, neatly trimmed hedges, flower gardens, and beautiful old timber-framed houses. In the middle of the village you’ll find the pond, and don’t miss Apotekerhaven (pharmacy garden), an open garden where you can see plants once used for medicine and dye.

The island church is also worth a visit – it sits on the highest point of the island with a stunning view over the archipelago.

Explore Skarø

There are walking trails across fields and along the coast – perfect for hiking boots or a bike ride. Along the way you’ll find small “coffee spots,” so bring your thermos and enjoy the view.

The coastline around Skarø is low and dotted with large boulders, beach meadows, and dikes – home to around 50 bird species. On Revet, Skarø Odde, and Kalveodde, wading birds nest from March 1 to July 15, so please don’t disturb them during that time.
