The lighthouse is located on the northern tip of the island of Vågsøy.

The lighthouse is owned by the Norwegian Coastal Administration, and is run as tourist cabin by Ytre Nordfjord Turlag.

[1][2] The 10-metre (33 ft) tall square wood tower is painted white with a red top.

The light can be seen for up to 12.8 nautical miles (23.7 km; 14.7 mi) and it emits a white, red, or green light, depending on direction, occulting twice every 8 seconds.

The keeper's house is available for overnight accommodations, but the tower is closed to the public.
