About Hysholmen Lighthouse
This 6-meter fiberglass tower stands on a skerry in the Sandøyfjord, marking the passage between Sandøya and Ringvassøya. Its square structure is painted white with three black horizontal bands. The focal height of the light is 13 meters, and it has a geographic range of 11.3 nautical miles. The light shows two white, red, or green flashes every 8 seconds, depending on the direction of approach. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself remains closed.
Why it matters: The lighthouse guides vessels through the Sandøyfjord passage, with its directional light providing precise warnings for this channel. Its modern fiberglass construction ensures longevity in its exposed location.
