Skarø

Skarø has a music festival held each year in August, an ice-cream manufacturer selling ice-cream all over the world, a summer café with its own smokehouse, an apothecary garden, and lots more in addition to all the scenic sights.

Located at the entrance to Svendborgsund, Skarø is served by the same ferry service as Drejø, and because of the frequent ferry crossings, the island is a popular destination for one-day trips (click here for tickets and timetables). With its beach meadows, dykes, sand reefs, and spectacular views, nature is the main attraction on Skarø. It is easy to go exploring on foot or on bike on the many paths running across the island and along the coasts.

Skarø has a population of about 30 people. In its main town, Skarø by, charming half-timbered houses and farms are located around the village pond. Skarø Kirke is perched on top of the island’s highest point and offers great views of the archipelago.

Skarø has its own music festival with the motto “the most loving small festival with a large music programme – in the middle of the South Fyn Archipelago, in the middle of Danish summer”.

Nem færgetur til store naturoplevelser

Skarø ligger ved udmundingen af Svendborgsund og betjenes af samme færgeforbindelse som Drejø. De hyppige afgange gør øen oplagt til en endagstur, hvor du nemt kan opleve øen i dit eget tempo (se fartplan og køb billetter online).

Naturen er Skarøs største attraktion. Strandenge, diger, sandrev og åbne landskaber giver fine udsigter over øhavet, og trampestier på tværs af marker og langs kysterne gør det let at udforske øen til fods eller på cykel.
