About Elsneset Lighthouse
This 7-meter concrete lighthouse stands on a promontory at the southwestern tip of Værøy island in Norway's Nordland region. Its square tower features a black post topped by a white lantern with a red roof. The lighthouse emits a white, red, or green light in a 5-second cycle, with the color changing based on direction. Located 0.9 km from the nearest port, the site is accessible to the public, although the tower itself remains closed. This structure serves as a navigational aid for vessels in the sea region.
Why it matters: Elsneset lighthouse is essential for safe passage around the southwestern tip of Værøy, a critical point for local fishing boats and maritime traffic navigating the Norwegian coastline. Its directional light warns mariners of their bearing relative to the promontory, helping them avoid hazards in these waters.
