About Baculin Point Lighthouse

Baculin Point Lighthouse stands on a remote promontory on the eastern coast of Mindanao, near Baganga in Davao Oriental. This white concrete or fiberglass tower is 15 meters tall. It emits a white light with one flash every 10 seconds. The lighthouse is situated on the northern approach to Baculin Bay. Its location serves to warn vessels of the headland at the bay's entrance. The site is open to visitors, but the tower itself is closed.

Why it matters: The lighthouse guides vessels entering Baculin Bay and warns of the promontory hazard, aiding local fishing boats and inter-island traffic along the coast.
