About Inabanga Lighthouse

Also known as: Inabanga (Tungod)

The Inabanga Lighthouse is a 12-meter cylindrical tower constructed of fiberglass. It stands on the pier at Inabanga, providing guidance for vessels in the coastal waters of Bohol. The lighthouse emits two red flashes every three seconds. The site is accessible to the public, but the tower itself is closed to visitors. Its distinctive round barbell shape makes it easily identifiable.

Why it matters: This lighthouse aids local shipping and fishing boats by helping them safely approach and depart the pier, a primary access point for the town.
