Tokenäsudde

Tokenäsudde is a lighthouse on Öland that functions as a sector light for maritime navigation. The structure sends out red light signals to guide boats through the Kalmar Strait.

The sector light was built in 1893 to support maritime traffic during the industrial development of the Baltic coast. It played an important role in improving navigation safety in this busy strait.

The lighthouse forms part of Sweden's maritime heritage network, representing the engineering achievements of 19th-century coastal infrastructure development.

The sector light is reachable from the mainland via the island of Öland and sits at its northern tip. The location offers views of maritime traffic and the coastal landscape of the Kalmar Strait.

The structure combines two navigation functions as both a sector light and lighthouse, positioned at the northern point where Öland meets the Baltic Sea.
