The island spans 20.46 square kilometers, featuring extensive sandy beaches along its western coast and mudflats on the eastern side facing the Wadden Sea.

Archaeological discoveries across Amrum reveal settlements dating to the Neolithic period, including dolmens and tomb sites from the Bronze and Iron Ages.

One third of the population speaks Öömrang, a North Frisian dialect, while maintaining traditional celebrations such as the Biakendai winter bonfire festival.

Visitors reach the island through regular ferry services departing from Dagebüll on the mainland, with connections also available to neighboring Föhr.

The island contains talking gravestones at St. Clement Church in Nebel, displaying detailed information about deceased residents through inscribed personal narratives.
