About Sleipskjæret Lighthouse
Also known as: Sleipskjæret (Skaepskjaer)
Sleipskjæret Lighthouse stands on a small island off the south coast of Mellom Vikna, near Nærøysund, Norway. The lighthouse consists of a 6-meter-tall square tower topped with a lantern and gallery, painted white with a red lantern roof. Its focal height is 6.5 meters, and it emits an occulting white, red, or green light on a 6-second cycle. This light has a geographic range of 9.1 nautical miles. The site is open to visitors, though the tower itself remains closed. The nearest port, Rorvik, is 9.5 kilometers away.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for local navigation, particularly for smaller vessels navigating the complex waterways surrounding Mellom Vikna. Its directional light, changing color to warn of the island and nearby hazards, guides mariners safely through the immediate coastal area.
