About Helsinki Municipality Lighthouses Lighthouse
This navigational aid is a 13-meter skeletal tower located on Louesaari, a small island southeast of Santahamina. It features a triangular skeletal structure supporting a large rectangular daymark, painted orange with a yellow vertical stripe. The light emits an occulting white flash every 6 seconds from a focal height of 19 meters, with a geographic range of 12.9 nautical miles. The tower stands on a site open to the public, though the structure itself is closed. It guides vessels hugging the coast westbound toward Helsinki.
Why it matters: This light is essential for the safe navigation of cruise ships and ferries entering Helsinki, a major port, from the west.
