Directly south of the island of Korpo and 13 km northeast of the island of Utö, this elongated island is 5 km in length with an average width of 1 km. The island has had its own church since 1846 and a bird observatory. Although there are dozen or so permanent residents on the island, they are joined by quite a few part-time residents come summertime.

The island of Jurmo was formed during the ice age and is actually a distant continuation of the Third Salpausselkä.
