About Store Selsøy Lighthouse
This concrete lighthouse stands 6 meters tall and is painted white. It features a lantern and gallery at its peak, reaching a focal height of 7 meters above sea level. The light emits an occulting white, red, or green signal every 6 seconds, indicating safe passage or potential hazards. Located on the waterfront of Store Selsøy, the lighthouse is situated on the north side of Hestmannøy island, about 7 kilometers west-northwest of Tonnes. The site is open to visitors, though the tower itself remains closed.
Why it matters: The lighthouse's directional occulting light, which shifts color, is essential for navigating the island passages near Hestmannøy and guides vessels approaching or departing Tonnes.
