Getting There

  • Walking

    From Læsø’s main settlement area, Østerby Havn is a relaxing walk for those staying nearby. As you approach the marina, use the harbor’s masts and waterfront promenade as your landmarks—the marina complex is set at the heart of harbor life. Expect a flat stroll of about 5 to 15 minutes depending on your accommodation’s proximity. The area is accessible, but some cobbled surfaces may be uneven.

  • Bicycle

    Læsø is famous for its accessible cycling paths. From the central village of Byrum, follow the signs towards Østerby Havn—the marina is close to the island’s main cycling arteries and easily identified by the bustling waterfront. Expect a scenic, easy ride of around 20–30 minutes, with bike rentals available in Byrum for about 80–120 DKK per day.

  • Taxi

    Taxis are available island-wide, typically taking about 15–20 minutes from Byrum to Østerby Havn. The marina entrance is alongside the harbor’s main cluster of buildings. Fares are around 150–200 DKK for the trip, and taxis can be booked in advance, especially during peak travel hours.

  • Car

    Driving is straightforward; look for signs to Østerby Havn, and the marina’s red-roofed buildings are visible as you approach the harbor. Ample parking is available adjacent to the marina complex and typically free for visitors, though spaces close to the waterfront can fill up quickly during summer weekends.
