Sælvig
A ferry port and shallow bay on Samsø's west coast, with a gentle sandy beach right by the harbour. It's the natural first stop after disembarking, and a good place to watch the sunset over the water.
Sælvig lies in the middle of Samsø's west coast and is the main ferry terminal from Hou on the Jutland Peninsula, a crossing of about one hour. Around the harbour you'll find bike rental, a campsite and small cafés. Next to it, Sælvig Bay has a shallow beach with small waves, making it a good choice for swimming with children. Facing west, it's also one of the island's favourite sunset spots. After landing, pick up a car or bike here to start the island loop: about 10 km north to Nørby, or about 7 km south to Tranebjerg.
