About Dåfjorden Lighthouse
Also known as: Dåfjorden (Bukkholmen)
Dåfjorden Lighthouse is a 6-meter tall square wooden tower with a red lantern roof, situated on Bukkholmen, a small island within the Dåfjord inlet on Ringvassøya. Its focal height is 7.5 meters, and it emits an occluded white, green, or red light on a 6-second cycle, with a geographic range of 9.5 nautical miles. The structure includes a lantern and gallery, and the site is open to the public, though the tower itself is closed. The nearest port is Vannvag, located 14.7 kilometers away.
Why it matters: This lighthouse provides directional guidance, with its color-changing light indicating safe channels and hazards within the wedge-shaped Dåfjord, aiding local fishing and recreational vessels.
