About Labuan Bajo Pier Lighthouse

Completed in 2020, this octagonal concrete tower stands 30 meters tall and features a lantern and two galleries. It emits a white flash every 3 seconds. The lighthouse was built as part of modernizations to the principal ferry port for western Flores. Its construction replaced an earlier, smaller 16-meter fiberglass tower. The site is open to visitors, but the tower itself is closed to the public.

Why it matters: This lighthouse guides vessels into and out of Labuan Bajo, the main port for western Flores, and is part of a significant waterfront redevelopment.
