Hammersundet Lighthouse
Location & Light Range
About Hammersundet Lighthouse
This 6-meter concrete tower stands on a reef at the entrance to a protected sound, south of the Ytrefjord. Its black, square structure is supported by four piles, topped with a white lantern and red roof. The light emits alternating white, red, and green signals every 6 seconds. Visible for 9.1 nautical miles, it guides vessels east of Lyktlangholmen towards Aure. The operational lighthouse is accessible by boat, though the tower itself is closed to the public.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is important for safe passage into the protected sound on the south side of the Ytrefjord, warning vessels away from the reef it occupies. Its sector light provides precise guidance through potentially hazardous waters.
