About Oterholmen Lighthouse
This concrete lighthouse stands 5.5 meters tall, with its focal height at 6 meters. The structure is painted white and features a white lantern topped by a red roof. Its light emits two white flashes on an 8-second cycle, with white, red, and green sectors providing directional guidance. Located on the west side of the Sandhornøy peninsula in Gildeskål, Norway, it offers a geographic range of 8.9 nautical miles. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: Oterholmen's directional light is important for local navigation, guiding vessels safely around the specific contours of Sandhornøy's northeastern peninsula. It ensures the safe passage of local fishing boats and other small craft operating in this part of Norway.
