About Kabelvåg Lighthouse
The Kabelvåg Lighthouse is situated on a skerry at the southern entrance to Kabelvåg harbor in Norway's Nordland region. First lit in 1892, this 7-meter fiberglass post structure features a gallery and lantern, painted white with a single black horizontal band and a red lantern roof. It emits an occulting white, red, and green light that cycles every 6 seconds, visible for nearly 10 nautical miles. The skerry is linked to the mainland by a causeway, making the lighthouse easily accessible. The town of Kabelvåg, with about 2300 residents, relies on this light for safe maritime access.
Why it matters: This lighthouse guides vessels into Kabelvåg harbor, a key location for the local fishing fleet, using a distinctive directional light system that aids safe passage.
