About Ospøy Lighthouse
The Ospøy lighthouse is a 4-meter octagonal lantern structure situated on a concrete base. Painted white with a red roof, it stands on the southeastern tip of Ospa island. This light guides vessels through the narrow Skomakaren passage. Its operational status is true, and it emits white, red, and green light with two flashes every 8 seconds. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself remains closed.
Why it matters: Ospøy lighthouse is indispensable for safe passage through the Skomakaren, a critical narrow passage for local shipping and recreational craft, preventing groundings and collisions.
