A small inhabited island half an hour by passenger ferry from Svolvær, population around 200. The village is a tight cluster of white wooden houses around a sheltered harbour, with a couple of small beaches, a single café, and a famous wooden church. The ferry runs roughly hourly in summer; less in winter.
Skrova is worth a half-day visit for the peaceful contrast with Svolvær. The flat island is good for cycling; rent a bike at the ferry. Norway's last commercial whaling station — the Ellingsen plant — was here, and its product is still sold across Lofoten.
