About Åknes Lighthouse
The Åknes lighthouse is a 15-meter skeletal tower constructed of concrete, situated on a promontory on the north side of Åknes. It features a lantern and gallery and has a focal height of 25 meters. The light emits two white flashes in a cycle of 8 seconds, with specific sectors also showing red or green light. This lighthouse has a geographic range of 14.3 nautical miles. The site is open to the public, though access to the tower itself is restricted.
Why it matters: The lighthouse's directional light, changing between white, red, and green, provides specific guidance for vessels navigating the coastal waters near Andøy, helping them avoid hazards off the southwestern coast.
