About Pulau Papan Lighthouse
A cylindrical steel tower, standing 41 meters tall, guides mariners from Pulau Papan. Its focal height reaches 37 meters, and it displays a white light, characterized by a single flash every 4 seconds. The structure is painted with alternating red and white horizontal bands, a visual cue against the surrounding seascape. This active light replaced an earlier structure on the island. The site itself is open to visitors, though access to the tower is restricted. It is situated approximately 7.1 kilometers from the nearest port of Labuan.
Why it matters: The lighthouse's presence is important for vessels navigating the maritime approaches to Labuan, a significant regional port.
