About Søre Lauksund Lighthouse
This 6-meter tall cylindrical lighthouse stands on a platform supported by piles on the west side of Lauksund, south of Lauksletta. Painted white with a red roof, its lantern emits a flashing sequence of white, red, or green light every 8 seconds. The focal height of the light is 6.5 meters, with a geographic range of 9.1 nautical miles. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself is closed to visitors. The nearest port is Skjervoy, located 6.7 kilometers away.
Why it matters: The lighthouse is essential for safe navigation through the Lauksund, a complex waterway relied upon by local fishing vessels and other maritime traffic. Its operational design, a lantern on a pile-supported platform, is suited for this coastal environment, and its directional colored lights offer critical guidance.
