About Vesterøy Area Lighthouses Lighthouse
This lighthouse is situated on a small island at the entrance to a narrow passage between Vesterøy and Spjærøy. The structure features a 3.5-meter lantern, painted white with a red roof. Its light produces two white, red, or green flashes every 8 seconds, depending on the direction of approach. The focal height of the light is 8 meters, providing a geographic range of 9.7 nautical miles. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself remains closed.
Why it matters: The lighthouse is indispensable for safe passage through the narrow channel separating Vesterøy and Spjærøy, a critical route for local shipping. Its directional light system warns mariners of the precise alignment needed to avoid hazards within this constricted waterway.
