Læsø Camping

Vesterø (five minutes' drive) is a scenic port town with pleasure craft, quiet beaches and a handful of excellent eateries. The water here is pretty shallow, so it's splendid for paddles (but expect to have to wade a fair way out if you want to be fully submerged). If you fancy a proper pamper, the town is also home to a spa located in a converted church. For seaside jaunts, head to Horneks Odde (20 minutes) for traditional lobster fisheries and seal-watching opportunities. More of the outdoorsy stuff? Canter, gallop or trot through the countryside: nearby horse riding opportunities come highly recommended (10 minutes). Byrum, the largest settlement on the island, is home to a viewing tower and intriguing history museum, as well as gift shops and a picture-worthy church (10 minutes), and it's also the site of the local salt museum where you can learn about the gourmet kitchen sea salt produced on the island to this day. Other local traditions can be explored at Hedvigs Hus, an outdoor museum (20 minutes).
