About Panjang Entrance Lighthouse

The Panjang Entrance Light is a 13-meter cylindrical fiberglass tower with a round green barbell shape. It stands on a platform supported by piles situated 0.3 kilometers from the port of Panjang. This navigational aid was established to guide vessels safely into the port, marking a shoal area that could otherwise present a hazard. The site is accessible to visitors, though the tower itself is closed.

Why it matters: This light is critical for ships entering and departing the port of Panjang, warning them away from the extensive shoal area that defines the harbor approach. Its green light provides a clear navigational aid for vessels transiting these busy shipping lanes.
