A road bridge and local road connects Skarpö to county road 274 on the adjoining island of Rindö to the south. Rindö is in turn connected to Vaxholm town by the Vaxholmsleden car ferry at its western end, and to Värmdö island by the Oxdjupsleden car ferry at its eastern end.[1][2][3]
To the west, Skarpö is separated from the island of Stegesund by the very narrow Stegesundet strait, which is used by Waxholmsbolaget ships, and other local ferries, that serve the outer archipelago. Some of these call at Skarpöborg pier on the Skarpö shore of the Stegesundet strait, providing a connection to Vaxholm town and Stockholm city.[1][4]
