About Vannøyklubben Lighthouse
This square wooden lighthouse stands 6.5 meters tall on a promontory on the southwest coast of Vannøy, near Karlsøy. Its lantern and gallery are part of the structure, which reaches a focal height of 10 meters. The tower is painted white and topped with a red lantern roof. It emits an occulting white, red, and green light on a 6-second cycle, visible for 10.4 nautical miles. The lighthouse site is open to visitors, though the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is important for coastal navigation along Vannøy's southwest shore, guiding local fishing boats and smaller commercial vessels. Its directional light helps indicate safe channels and warn of hazards near the promontory.
