About Lauis Ledge Lighthouse

Constructed in 1998, Lauis Ledge is situated approximately 800 meters from the southwestern tip of Mactan Island. The lighthouse marks the southern entrance to Cebu City harbor, guiding vessels through intricate waterways. It emits a white flash every 10 seconds from a focal height of 16 meters, with a geographic range of 12.2 nautical miles. The site is accessible by boat, though the tower itself is closed to the public. Despite its operational status, recent observations suggest the structure is in poor condition.

Why it matters: This lighthouse warns of the Lauis Ledge, a submerged hazard, and is essential for safe navigation into and out of Cebu City harbor, a significant shipping lane in the Philippines.
