About Fårösund Södra Lighthouse
A 7-meter round concrete pier painted red supports the Fårösund Södra light, which has a white lantern and gallery. The station was first established in 1894, with the current cylindrical concrete tower built in 1950. It emits a white, red, or green flash every three seconds to guide vessels. The lighthouse is located in the Fårösund passage, approximately 1.6 kilometers north northwest of the Bungeör light. Its geographic range is 8.9 nautical miles.
Why it matters: This lighthouse warns vessels away from the Flytan shoal at the narrowest point of the Fårösund passage.
