Wyk is situated on the southeastern edge of the island. About 4,500 inhabitants live there, but during the tourist seasons 20,000 or more people will populate the town. It serves as a regional center for the islands of Föhr and Amrum, providing shopping centers, specialised physicians, post office, etc. and it is the seat of the Amt Föhr-Amrum and the social care center for the islands. The approximately 4,200 other inhabitants of Föhr proper live in villages across the island. Wyk's major source of income is the tourism business.

Wyk is the only harbour of Föhr, providing a ferry port, a fisheries and freight port and a marina. From the ferry port, several sailings per day are scheduled to the mainland port of Dagebüll while other ferries depart in the opposite direction towards the island of Amrum. Most ferries to Dagebüll have a train connection from there to Hamburg via Niebüll. The ferries are operated by Wyker Dampfschiffsreederei Föhr-Amrum GmbH whose seat is in Wyk. Other than scheduled ferrying, foray tours are offered to the Halligen of Langeneß and Hooge and in the summer season, passenger ferries sail to Hörnum on Sylt.

Wyk can moreover be reached by sport planes via an airstrip. Bus lines connect to the villages of the island.
