About Bjørnsund Lighthouse
Bjørnsund Lighthouse was built in 1974 on Moøya, a small island located about 4 km north of Gossa and 4 km west of Bud. The lighthouse consists of a 9-meter tall, square cylindrical wood tower with a gallery, attached to a 1-story wood keeper's house. Its light is situated 26 meters above sea level and has a geographic range of 14.5 nautical miles. The light emits two white flashes every 8 seconds, with red or green sectors depending on the direction. This operational aid is painted white with a red lantern.
Why it matters: This lighthouse provides essential directional guidance for safe navigation in the complex coastal area surrounding Moøya, helping vessels navigate between Gossa and the mainland.
