Degersand

Åland Archipelago


Åland's rocky coastline doesn't often allow for good swimming beaches, but here's an exception – a long, pristine stretch of fine white sand that has been ranked as one of Europe's best unexplored beaches. Calm, shallow waters make it perfect for kids – or anyone who can stand the chilly temperatures.

Restaurant Q in Degersands Resort is a convenient pit stop for lunch or refreshment.
