About Årviksund Lighthouse
The Årviksund lighthouse marks a shoal on the northeast end of Årviksholmen, near Tysvær. This operational aid is a 6-meter-tall square pyramidal tower with a lantern and gallery, painted white. Its focal height is 5 meters, and it emits an occulting white, red, or green light on a 6-second cycle, changing color with direction. The tower stands on a platform supported by piles, a design suited for its location directly on the shoal. The site is open to visitors arriving by boat, but the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse warns vessels about the shoal off the northeast end of Årviksholmen, providing precise guidance through its directional light.
