About Hindøysund Lighthouse
The Hindøysund lighthouse, first lit in 1900, marks a narrow passage off the northwest coast of Atløy. This 11-meter-high structure features a white lantern with a red roof, mounted on a pile-supported platform. Its light emits an occulting white, green, or red signal on a 6-second cycle, visible for 9.3 nautical miles. The tower is closed to the public, but the site is accessible by boat. The lighthouse's location near Askvoll serves maritime traffic in the Vestland region of Norway.
Why it matters: The Hindøysund lighthouse is important for safe passage through the constricted channel off Atløy, benefiting local fishing and coastal shipping. Its distinctive directional light aids navigation in these waters.
