About Mun Aung Lighthouse
Also known as: Mun Aung (Beacon Island)
The Mun Aung Lighthouse, constructed in 1909, is a cylindrical cast iron tower standing 36 meters tall. Its exterior is painted red on the lower half and white on the upper half, topped with a lantern and gallery. The light emitted is white, featuring a single flash every 5 seconds. Its focal plane is 37 meters above sea level, providing a geographic range of 16.6 nautical miles. The lighthouse is located on a small island situated 14.1 kilometers from the nearest port at Kyaukpyu.
Why it matters: This lighthouse warns vessels of the island it occupies, a navigational hazard in the Bay of Bengal, and guides ships transiting routes near Cheduba Island.
