Barkeneset Lighthouse
Location & Light Range
About Barkeneset Lighthouse
A 6.5-meter white tower with a lantern and gallery, topped by a red lantern roof, stands at Barkeneset. It is situated just off a headland on the northwest side of the Økstrafjord entrance from the Jelsafjord, approximately 5 kilometers east of Jelsa, Norway. The light emits an occulting white, red, or green signal every 4 seconds, with a focal height of 7.5 meters. This lighthouse has been moved from its original onshore position out into the fjord. Its geographic range is 9.5 nautical miles.
Why it matters: The lighthouse is essential for safe navigation within the complex fjord system of southwestern Norway, specifically guiding vessels entering or exiting the Økstrafjord from the Jelsafjord. Its relocation from an onshore position to its current offshore site highlights its adaptive role in maintaining maritime safety in a dynamic coastal environment.
