About Skarholmen Lighthouse
Skarholmen Lighthouse is a square tower standing 6 meters tall, situated on a skerry at the southwest edge of the Sandsundvær group near Herøy, Norway. Its focal height reaches 20 meters, and it emits a long white, red, or green flash every 10 seconds, with a geographic range of 13.2 nautical miles. The structure features a lantern and gallery. This lighthouse guides mariners through the complex waters of the Sandsundvær archipelago, a region known for its many skerries and shallow areas. Its remote location on a rocky island is accessible only by boat.
Why it matters: The lighthouse's directional light, which changes color based on the viewing direction, is critical for identifying safe channels and avoiding the numerous navigational hazards present in the Sandsundvær group.
