About Raudøy Vestpynt Lighthouse
Raudøy Vestpynt lighthouse stands as a 13-meter square tower with a red lantern roof, located on the western end of Raudøy island. This structure, which has a focal height of 11.5 meters, emits an isophase white, red, or green light every 2 seconds. Its geographic range extends to 10.9 nautical miles. The lighthouse differentiates this Raudøy from a nearby historic light station of the same name. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself is closed. The nearest port is Askvoll, 3.9 kilometers away.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for safe navigation in the intricate coastal waters off Atløy, particularly for local fishing boats and smaller vessels, helping them identify their position and avoid hazards.
