Sandværken Lighthouse
Location & Light Range
About Sandværken Lighthouse
The Sandværken lighthouse is situated on a reef guarding the entrance to Rødøy, Norway. It features a skeletal, 7-meter-tall tower with a lantern and gallery atop tripod piles. The light emits an occulting white, red, or green signal every 6 seconds. Its geographic range is 9.3 nautical miles. The site is open to the public, but the tower itself is closed. Located 0.5 kilometers from the nearest port of Rodoy, it serves smaller vessels and local fishing boats.
Why it matters: Sandværken's directional light system provides precise guidance for vessels approaching Rødøy, warning them of the reef it marks and preventing groundings.
