Bolilmark - holiday homes in Rømø's beautiful nature area
 Bolilmark is a preserved and scenic holiday are on the Wadden Sea island Rømø, which offers lovely bathing beaches and cosy island atmosphere. The quiet holiday house area by the village Bolilmark is situated on the northern park of Rømø, only 2 km from the dam, and surrounded by scenic moor areas, covered with heather. The houses in the area all have grass on the roofs and fit well into nature. It is possible to buy groceries in the area, and in Kongsmark, 4 km from here, you will find a wider selection of shops and restaurants. The nearest larger town is Skærbæk, which is situated on the mainland, 17 km from Bolilmark.
Rømø is connected with the mainland through a 10 km long dam. The lovely nature, the long wide and sandy beach, the Wadden Sea, the North Sea, the fresh sea breeze, the rich wildlife, the many birds, the well-preserved Rømø-farms and the cosy atmosphere makes Rømø an interesting holiday destination.
Beach
Only a few km west of Bolilmark you will find one of Europe's best bathing beaches.
On the 15 km long Lakolk Strand it is possible to drive your car all the way down to the waters edge. The fine, completely stone-free sandy beach has shallow water, a sandy bottom, dunes and Blue Flag. Therefore, it is very suitable for children. The beach is rather unusual because of its width - between 1.5 and 6 km - which invites beach activities of every kind. Activities like windsurfing, kite buggy driving and flying with kites are very popular here.
The difference between high and low tide is substantial, and twice a day the water level changes significantly. Therefore you are to be careful when you park your car close to the water.

The northern part of the island is laid out as a bird sanctuary for the many wading birds of the Wadden Sea. Seals also reside on the island, and within the later years more sperm whales have stranded on Rømø.
Rømø consists of 90% nature landscapes with large areas, covered with heather, and dune plantations, where trees and bushes bear witness of the rough North Sea wind. All over the island you can experience a rich population of birds and animals.
