Beach
The beach of Mommark is situated right by the harbour. The wide and sandy beach with small stones invites swimming, sunbathing and playing in the sand. The water is calm and the beach is partially sheltered by a fence and growth towards the hinterland.
About 7 km south of Mommark you will find the 5 km long, sandy beach by Skovmose, which is said to be one of the lovelies beaches on Als. The water is also very calm here, as the beach is sheltered by Funen, the island Ærø and the German coastline.
Nature
 Hills and valleys characterize the landscape on Als, and along the 165 km long coastline the nature is very versatile. Inlets and coves supersede cliffs and bathing beaches.
