Located almost 10 kilometres out in the ocean where the spraying North Sea meets the Wadden Sea, Rømø is contains some of Denmark s most fascinating countryside as well as rare flora and fauna. For hundreds of years, Rømø has made a deep impression on visitors. Its first inhabitants were fishermen, and later wealthy whaling skippers, who built many of its distinctive and opulent country houses. Since then, the island has become a magnet for visitors from both Denmark and abroad, due not least to its magnificent countryside and one of the broadest and best sandy beaches in Europe. Despite Romø s popularity, it is always possible to find an undisturbed, peaceful nook to enjoy.
