About Pulau Karang Lighthouse
Also known as: Pulau Karang (Reef Island)
Pulau Karang is an octagonal concrete lighthouse completed in 2021. Standing 30 meters tall, its white tower features blue trim and a lantern with a gallery. The focal height of its white light is 13 meters, providing a geographic range of 12 nautical miles. The light flashes once, indicating a simple white flash. It is located on a small, uninhabited island southwest of Barus, approximately 30 kilometers by boat from Sibolga, Sumatra. This structure guides vessels past a submerged reef surrounding the island.
Why it matters: This modern lighthouse is essential for mariners navigating busy shipping lanes off Sumatra's coast, specifically warning them of the reef hazard near Barus.
