About Madodden Lighthouse
This 6.5-meter quadrilateral tower, built in 2019, stands white and red on the west side of Skjernøy. It marks a narrow passage between Skjernøy and Ferøy, southeast of Mandal. The light emits two white flashes followed by a red or green signal every 8 seconds, with a focal height of 11 meters. The geographic range of the light is 10.7 nautical miles. The site is accessible by boat and open to visitors, though the tower itself remains closed.
Why it matters: The light's specific occulting pattern guides vessels through the narrow passage southeast of Mandal, a route used by local boat traffic.
