Constructed in 1916, Batu Tinagat is a 9-meter tall cylindrical tower made of cast iron. The tower is painted white, with a red lantern room and gallery. It stands on a small island close to the port of Tawau, approximately 6.6 kilometers away. This lighthouse began operation as a means to improve navigational safety in the area.
