About Larantuka Lighthouse
This octagonal concrete lighthouse stands 25 meters tall on the waterfront of Larantuka, a port town on Flores Island. Completed in 2019, its structure includes a lantern and gallery, with the light positioned 45 meters above sea level. The lighthouse emits a white flash every 4 seconds, visible for nearly 18 nautical miles. The site is open to the public, offering views of the harbor, but the tower itself is closed to visitors. Its construction utilizes modern concrete engineering.
Why it matters: This lighthouse aids navigation for vessels entering and departing Larantuka harbor, a significant location for inter-island trade and fishing in the Flores Sea.
