At its southern end, the island is crossed by county road 274, with a bridge to the south linking it to the island of Kullö and, via that, to the Vaxholm urban area. To the west, a bridge links to the mainland via the islet of Bullerholmen. Local roads connect the county road with centres of population to the north of the island. Except for the winter months, passenger ships of the Waxholmsbolaget call at a pier in Ytterby, providing a connection to Vaxholm town and Stockholm city.
