About Kleivheia Lighthouse
The Kleivheia Lighthouse is a 7-meter-tall cylindrical fiberglass tower with a red roof, standing 39 meters above sea level. It is situated on a promontory northwest of Unnstad in Vestvågøy, Norway. This active light replaced an earlier skeletal tower. Its operational light displays alternating white, red, and green sectors with a cycle of 6 seconds. The geographic range of the light is 16.9 nautical miles. Visitors can access the lighthouse site, but the tower itself is closed to the public.
Why it matters: Kleivheia Lighthouse's directional light is essential for vessels navigating the specific hazards and channels around the promontory, providing precise guidance to avoid submerged rocks.
