Background
Capones Island Lighthouse is a historic lighthouse located in Capones Island off the coast of Barangay Pundaquit, San Antonio, in the province of Zambales, in the Philippines. The light guides international vessels coming from the north to northwest towards Subic Bay or to Corregidor Island Lighthouse at the entrance of Manila Bay. It had first-order lenses when it was first lit on August 1, 1890.
The island is famous for the century-old Capones Lighthouse. Most visitors would leave Manila very early in the morning and would go straight to an island hopping tour of Capones Island and the nearby coves.Light & Optic
