About Garpeskjær Lighthouse
Also known as: Garpeskjær (Garpholmen)
This 6-meter tall concrete lantern structure stands on a small island approximately 3 kilometers east-northeast of Havøysund. Painted white with a red roof, it sits on concrete piles and has a focal height of 18 meters, with a geographic range of 12.7 nautical miles. The light emits a white, red, or green flash every 5 seconds. The site is accessible by boat, but the tower itself is closed to the public. Garpeskjær is located in Norway's Finnmark region.
Why it matters: The lighthouse is essential for ferries navigating the passage between the Porsanger Peninsula and Hjelmsøy island, connecting Hammerfest and Havøysund.
