About Florø Lighthouse
Florø Lighthouse is a cylindrical white tower with a red roof, standing 10 meters tall with a focal height of 8 meters. Its structure consists of a lantern and gallery supported by tripod piles. This aid to navigation emits a continuous red light and has a geographic range of 9.7 nautical miles. The lighthouse was replaced and relocated a short distance east of its original position. The site remains accessible, though the tower itself is closed to the public.
Why it matters: The relocated light continues to serve as an essential navigational aid for maritime traffic in the Rotaflu channel, ensuring safe passage for vessels entering and departing Florø's modern harbor.
