Location & Light Range

About Nasipit Harbor Lighthouse

A white, cylindrical concrete tower 10 meters high stands on the west side of the inlet to Nasipit Harbor. The light, at a focal height of 20 meters, emits a green flash every 5 seconds. Its geographic range extends 13.2 nautical miles. The tower is situated on a steep bluff overlooking the approach from the Bohol Sea, 0.3 kilometers from the nearest port of Nasipit.

Why it matters: This light is essential for vessels entering the Nasipit inlet from the Bohol Sea, guiding them away from the steep western bluff. Its characteristic green flash every five seconds specifically marks the safe channel into the harbor, serving ferry routes to Bohol and other islands.
