About Tärnö Lighthouse
This octagonal wooden lighthouse, standing 6 meters tall, was built in 1910 on the southern tip of Tärnö island. Its focal height reaches 31 meters, casting a light visible for 15.5 nautical miles. The structure is painted white and features a lantern and gallery. A station was first established here in 1887. The lighthouse emits an occulting white, red, and green light on a 10-second cycle, indicating different sectors.
Why it matters: The lighthouse's directional light provides precise guidance for vessels navigating the coastal waters south of Matvik and southeast of Karlshamn.
