About Pangangan Island Lighthouse

Also known as: #Pangangan Island (Magtung Point)

The lighthouse on Pangangan Island stands as a square concrete tower, 9 meters in height, rising from a rectangular open shelter. It emits a white light with a single flash every 5 seconds. This structure is situated on Magtung Point, overlooking the channel between Pangangan Island and the Bohol mainland. Its purpose is to warn vessels of shallow waters and hazards within this passage. The site is open to the public, but access to the tower is restricted.

Why it matters: This lighthouse specifically aids ships and ferries traveling to and from Tubigon, a key transportation hub in Bohol. It provides a warning for the shallow waters of the channel separating Pangangan Island from the mainland.
