About Alvnestangen Lighthouse
This octagonal lighthouse stands 7 meters tall on a skerry off the tip of Alvnestangen, a sharp promontory on the north side of the Skjerstadfjord. Constructed from stone and concrete, its exterior is painted white and topped with a red roof. The light emits a white, red, or green signal every 5 seconds. Access to the site is by boat, with the nearest port being Skjerstad, 2.4 kilometers away. While visitors can access the grounds, the tower itself is closed to the public.
Why it matters: The lighthouse's sector light is essential for navigating the Skjerstadfjord, specifically warning vessels away from the Alvnestangen promontory and nearby skerries.
