About Helløyskjær Lighthouse
The Helløyskjær Lighthouse stands on a skerry roughly 1 kilometer northeast of Helløy and 8 kilometers from the mainland coast in Norway's Nordland region. This 6-meter metal tower, painted white with a red roof, supports a lantern structure that reaches a focal height of 8 meters. Its light cycles through white, red, and green flashes every 5 seconds, providing directional guidance. The lighthouse is situated on a platform supported by piles, reflecting an adaptation to its exposed location. While the site is open to visitors, the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for safe navigation through the coastal waters near Helløy, marking the skerry and guiding vessels around hazards in the Norwegian archipelago. Its directional light offers precise warnings for ships transiting these shipping lanes.
