Location & Light Range
About Matabas Island Lighthouse
This cylindrical fiberglass tower stands 10 meters tall, with its light positioned 13 meters above sea level. The white structure features a round, hourglass shape. It emits a white flash every 5 seconds, visible for 11.3 nautical miles. The lighthouse is located on Matabas Island, a small, inhabited landmass northwest of the Negros island's northeastern tip. Visitors can access the site by boat, but the tower itself is closed to the public. The nearest port is Bogo, 27.7 kilometers away.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for vessels navigating the narrow passage between Negros and Bantayan Island, warning them of a reef extending from Negros's northeastern tip.
