Sandvig & Allinge
pop 1635
Sandvig is a quiet little seaside hamlet with storybook older homes, many fringed by rose
bushes and tidy flower gardens. It's fronted by a gorgeous sandy bay and borders a net-
work of interesting walking trails.
Allinge, the larger and more developed half of the Allinge-Sandvig municipality, is 2km
southeast of Sandvig. Although not as quaint as Sandvig, Allinge has the lion's share of
commercial facilities, including banks, grocery shops and the area's tourist office.
Seven kilometres southeast of Sandvig, in the small village of
Olsker
, is the most
slender of the island's four round churches. If you take the inland bus to Rønne, you can
stop off en route to visit the church or catch a passing glimpse of it as you ride by.

This enchanting, white-walled, black-beamed converted farmhouse right on the water is
our choice of places to stay in Allinge. The rooms (try to get the sea-facing not the road-
facing ones) are simply yet smartly decorated in a contemporary style. There's a pleasant
garden, a large, cheerful breakfast room and kelp-filled rock pools nearby if you fancy tak-
ing a dip.
