About Skanör Lighthouse
A white, cylindrical concrete tower, standing 6 meters tall, was built in 1947 to mark the north breakwater at Skanör. It features a lantern and gallery and rests on the breakwater about 2.5 kilometers north of Falsterbo. The lighthouse emits two red or green flashes every 10 seconds, with a focal height of 7 meters above sea level. The original light station was established in 1881. The structure is situated near the port of Skanor.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is important for local navigation, marking the north breakwater and guiding vessels safely into Skanör harbor. Its directional light provides precise guidance for mariners approaching the port from various directions.
