Great views by the sea since 1988

Nallikari Observation Tower, better known as Nallikari Lighthouse, was built on top of the breakwater at the northern end of the beach in 1988. It was designed by the architectural company NVØ to symbolise the unique spirit of Oulu.

Nallikari Lighthouse has been popular ever since, and it remains the most important seaside landmark in Oulu to this day. Climbing all the way to the top level is free of charge – and is an unforgettable experience. The view out towards the sea from the top level is magnificient. This is where people come to admire the famously beautiful sunsets, to marvel at the gleaming, white surface of the frozen sea, and to gaze at stars and auroras during the darkest months of the year. The view from Nallikari Lighthouse is worth seeing in every season.

Nallikari Lighthouse is a photo album favourite
