About Aksteinen Lighthouse
This stone cairn lighthouse stands 6.5 meters tall, topped with a white lantern featuring a red roof and a black stone cairn. It is situated off the northwest coast of Bømlo, Norway, near the port of Bømlo. The operational light emits a sequence of white, red, and green flashes every 4 seconds. While the site is accessible to the public, the tower itself remains closed. Its focal height reaches 16.5 meters, providing a geographic range of 12.3 nautical miles.
Why it matters: The directional light is essential for marking safe channels and warning of submerged dangers in the complex waters off Bømlo's northwest coast. Its design, a lantern atop a natural stone cairn, also serves as a distinctive landmark.
