Key activities on the island include cycling, walking along the shore and visiting orchards during blossom and harvest seasons. Local services are concentrated in a few settlements and visitors commonly arrive by regular ferry from the nearby Lolland port at Kragenæs.
Geographically Fejø lies in the Baltic Sea between Lolland and Falster, administratively connected to the Zealand region and reachable by short ferry links from the larger islands.
