Vesterø Havn on Læsø is a very pleasant and quiet harbour. Good capacity and the attitude that there is always room for one more boat. Larger boats over 16 meters can moor alongside on the starboard side when arriving at the harbour, others moor in the harbour mainly with mooring lines and bow in.
Right by the harbour, there are a number of different dining and serving places. 200 meters up the street, there is a grocery store that has most things.
For those who wish to cook their own food, there are a number of grill huts along the harbour with grills on site, so you just need to buy charcoal and you're all set.
For golf enthusiasts, it is advisable to rent a car, which is very convenient and affordable. There is information about who to contact where you pay the harbour fee. You can then also drive around the island to other places to experience Læsø, and to a larger grocery store in the "center" of the island.
In strong W/NW winds, you need to prepare to be a "submarine" if you are going out from the harbour, the shallow water creates steep waves that hit well on the way out. It can also be good to time your departure/arrival so you do not come into conflict with the ferry to Frederikshavn.

Vestrø Harbour has a large, nice guest harbour with friendly and helpful harbour staff. There is also a small fishing harbour here, and you can often buy fresh fish and Norway lobster/crayfish from the fishing boats when they arrive in the morning. It is well-suited for boat tourists with large, nice service buildings with lounges, kitchens, toilets/showers, washing machines/dryers, and outdoor grill areas.
The waters outside the harbour are shallow, and the approach to the harbour goes through a dredged channel with alignment markers on land. The approach can be challenging in strong winds, especially from the west and north. The harbour itself is well protected by breakwaters.
There is a nearby grocery store, bakery, and dining places. There is a playground for small children and a nice, but shallow, sandy beach a few hundred meters from the harbour. Læsø is a relatively large island with much interesting to see and do. You can rent a bicycle or take the bus to the 'capital' Byrum or Østerby Harbour located on the far east of the island. The bus is free and corresponds with the ferry to/from Frederikshavn on the mainland.
East in the harbour there is a slipway/dry dock with a mechanical workshop and a launch ramp for small boats. The slipway/dry dock (Væsterø Smedje og Bedding) can accommodate boats from about 20/25 feet up to large cutters of 30-40 tons at an affordable price and with good service.
