About Tinau Island Lighthouse
Also known as: Tingiao
A square white concrete pillar with a gallery stands 8 meters tall on Tinau (Tingiao) Island. The focal height reaches 10 meters, and the structure emits a red flash every 5 seconds, visible for 10.4 nautical miles. The lighthouse, painted white and red, is operational and located off the northwestern coast of Samar. Visitors can access the site, though the tower itself is closed to the public. The nearest port is Matnog, 20.8 kilometers away.
Why it matters: The lighthouse's red light warns vessels of Tinau (Tingiao) Island's presence, guiding local shipping around the northwestern coast of Samar.
