Location & Light Range
About Bjørnøy Lighthouse
Bjørnøy Lighthouse stands on the northeastern tip of Bjørnøy, an island situated about 8 kilometers off the west coast of Kvaløya. This masonry lighthouse has a square tower measuring 6.5 meters in height, with the light situated 9 meters above sea level. Its structure is enclosed by siding and features a white tower topped with a red lantern roof. The light emits two white, red, or green flashes every 8 seconds, with a geographic range of 10 nautical miles. The site is open to the public, but the tower itself remains closed.
Why it matters: The lighthouse guides vessels around the northeastern tip of Bjørnøy, an island off Kvaløya, and its distinctive light changes color to warn mariners of their approach.
