Homborsund Lighthouse () is a coastal lighthouse located on the island Store Grønningen in the municipality of Grimstad in Agder county, Norway. It sits about southeast of the village of Homborsund in the Eide area. It was established in 1879, and is listed as a protected cultural site. Homborsund Lighthouse was constructed the same year as Lyngør Lighthouse, and the two stations have similar designs. The station includes a livinghouse for two families, outhouse, boathouse and pier, in addition to the light. The light was automated in 1992, and the station was de-populated. Today it is open to the public for overnight stays and guidance. The surrounding area is a protected bird sanctuary. Read more on Wikipedia
