About Petäis Lighthouse
This square concrete tower, standing 5 meters high, is located at the west end of Västra Petisholmen on the south side of a ship channel. Its lantern and gallery sit atop the structure. The light emits three distinct colors: white, red, and green, cycling every 3 seconds. It has a focal height of 7 meters and a geographic range of 9.3 nautical miles. The site of the lighthouse is open to visitors, though the tower itself is closed. The nearest port is Nagu, 4.4 kilometers away.
Why it matters: The lighthouse provides critical directional light signals, changing color based on approach, which allows vessels to accurately navigate this specific waterway within the Finnish archipelago.
