The sights of the village are the Raukar , some of which you can see standing in the pine forest on both sides of the cul-de-sac that branches off from road 149 to the beach. They are evidence of the fact that the coastline used to be much further inland. At seven meters to the ground and 23 m above sea level, the Jungfrun am Klint, above the steep coast, is the largest rock on the island. Hikers can walk from Jungfrunklint through a forest and heather landscape above the cliffs or descend to the pebble beach.

In Lickershamn it is worth looking through the pebbles and rattle stones on the beach. The chance of finding fossils is rarely better than here. The yield includes trilobites , button corals, mussels, etc., all relics of a 400 million year old tropical sea.

There is a campsite in the north of the village.
