Skarvgaddarna Lighthouse
Location & Light Range
About Skarvgaddarna Lighthouse
This concrete mast lighthouse, standing 6 meters tall with a focal height of 6 meters, guides vessels on the coastal passage between Helsinki and Kotka. Its tower is white with a black lantern and features a lantern and gallery. The light emits a white, red, and green flash every 2 seconds. In 2021, the operational light was moved to a 12-meter post adjacent to the original structure. The original tower, no longer active, remains on a rocky reef about 7 kilometers west-northwest of the Tiiskeri lighthouse.
Why it matters: The lighthouse's placement on a rocky reef addresses navigational hazards along the coastal passage between Helsinki and Kotka, ensuring safe transit for commercial and recreational vessels.
