Herøya Lighthouse
Location & Light Range
About Herøya Lighthouse
This 6-meter lantern structure, supported by piles on a platform, stands 4.5 meters above sea level off Langenes. Operational as of 2019, it emits a red flash every 2 seconds, with a geographic range of 8.2 nautical miles. The original lighthouse was replaced in 2019 by a modern light on an offshore post, and the old structure may have been removed. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself is closed. Access to this island location requires a boat journey, with Flekkeroy being the nearest port at 4.7 kilometers away.
Why it matters: The lighthouse marks the southern point of Herøy island, a significant landmark for local shipping and fishing vessels in the Agder region.
