About Komodo Lighthouse
Also known as: Komodo (Tanjung Langkai)
The Komodo Lighthouse is a white, square skeletal tower with a gallery, standing 20 meters tall. Its light emits a single white flash every 5 seconds from a focal height of 80 meters. This structure is situated on a steep promontory at the southwestern tip of Komodo Island, marking the entrance to the Sape Strait. It is located approximately 23.6 kilometers from the nearest port, Sape. The current tower appears to be a replacement, with evidence suggesting multiple structures have existed on this site.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for vessels navigating the Sape Strait, a significant passage in the Lesser Sunda Islands, and warns of the hazardous promontory.
