About Haapaluoto Range Front Lighthouse
This red skeletal steel tower stands 20 meters tall on a skerry north of the main ship channel, guiding westbound vessels leaving Turku. It features a white vertical stripe on its red exterior and a triangular skeletal mast that supports a large rectangular daymark. The structure's focal height reaches 27 meters, and it emits a white light with a 6-second cycle. Located in Pargas, this navigational aid is positioned on the north side of the channel, assisting ships navigating the waters near the port of Nagu.
Why it matters: This range light is indispensable for the safe navigation of commercial and recreational vessels departing Turku, Finland, particularly those heading west through the complex archipelago. It precisely marks the ship channel, preventing groundings on the numerous skerries and shoals that characterize this coastal region.
