Pulau Karsik Lighthouse
Location & Light Range
About Pulau Karsik Lighthouse
A white, cast iron skeletal tower stands 31 meters tall on Pulau Karsik. The focal height of its light is 32 meters above sea level. The lighthouse emits a white flash every 15 seconds, visible for a geographic range of 15.7 nautical miles. Established in 1917, it is located on a small island near Pariaman, approximately 4 kilometers offshore. This remote location, requiring boat access, emphasizes its function in supporting maritime traffic.
Why it matters: The light characteristic helps mariners identify their position along shipping routes north of Padang, warning them of the island it marks.
