About Buøy Lighthouse
Also known as: Buøy (Buøya)
A square skeletal tower, sheathed in wood and topped with a lantern and gallery, marks the northeastern tip of Buøy island. This structure stands 6 meters tall, with its light positioned 11.5 meters above sea level. The lighthouse emits an occulting white, red, or green light on a 6-second cycle, visible for nearly 11 nautical miles. It is located west of Austbø and about 8 kilometers west of Søvik in Norway's Nordland region. The site is open to the public, but access to the tower itself is restricted.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for navigating the waters surrounding Buøy island, specifically warning vessels about its northeastern extremity.
