Morups Tånge – the guiding light along the straight section

The tower is made of stone, white with two black belts. There are a number of shallows in all directions from this lighthouse. Many people may think this lighthouse is in a strange location, situated as it is on the straight piece of coast outside Falkenberg. In Sweden, we do not have all that many lighthouses that provide points of reference to indicate where people are on straight, dark stretches of coast. But Morups Tånge is one of a small number of lighthouses that perform this function as well.
Fully automated and demanned in 1962.
