Lågøya is the long, low island north of Håøya, roughly 900 metres end to end. Cabins, a boathouse and a tennis court are visible inland. For years this was a company retreat, closed to the public. It is an open recreation area now.
A scheme of its own with its own booking site, outside the coastal trail. See the article on Lågøya.

Times shift with the season, and several of the island boats run only in summer. Check the current timetable at Ruter.
Lågøya covers about 13 hectares (130 dekar). The development produced 21 rental cabins, a tennis court and a boathouse, and for many years the island was an oil company's retreat, most recently owned by Circle K.
In April 2022 the Sparebankstiftelsen DNB foundation bought the island from Circle K, taking it over around 1 July that year. The purpose was to open the island to the public as a recreation area. Management was handed to DNT Oslo og Omegn, the Oslo branch of the Norwegian Trekking Association, together with Oslofjordens Friluftsråd.
Lågøya is a recreation area with 21 rental cabins under Sameiet Lågøya. The cabins, the boathouse and the tennis court from the company years have been kept and opened to the public. Aspond is to the southeast.
The B21 boat from Aker brygge has its own quay on the island, barely an hour from Oslo, though departures are few. Otherwise you come by private boat or kayak, and the guest harbour on the east side takes day visitors. The 21 cabins are managed by DNT Oslo og Omegn together with Oslofjordens Friluftsråd under the name Sameiet Lågøya, but booking is at lagoya.no, not in the coastal trail listing.
For more than half a century Lågøya was an oil company's private holiday retreat. A savings bank foundation bought it in 2022 and opened it to the public.
The tennis court out in the middle of the island is what the company cabin years left behind.
Oslo Sea Experience passes Lågøya on its private fjord trips from Tjuvholmen.
