About Sønnanåneset Lighthouse
Also known as: Sønnanåneset (Sunnananeset)
The Sønnanåneset lighthouse is a 6-meter conical fiberglass tower. It is painted white with two black horizontal bands, and the lantern roof is red. The light's focal plane sits at 8.5 meters. This structure was put in place of a former square wood tower. The emitted light cycles through white, red, and green, flashing once every 2 seconds (Oc WRG 2s). It is located on a headland at the eastern entry point from Vindafjord into Sandeidsfjord.
Why it matters: This navigation aid marks the eastern entry to Sandeidsfjord from Vindafjord, directing vessels around the headland. Its colored light sectors offer precise directional information for avoiding hazards at this fjord entrance.
