Sandö is a unique and interesting destination. Sandö and the adjacent Sandskär are part of the Salpausselkä ridge system, as is Jurmo, for instance. The eastern tip of Sandö continues very far as a low sandbank. This should be kept in mind when navigating in the area. With a small boat, landing is possible in the bay on the northeastern side of the island. Larger boats can be left at anchor.
