About Probolinggo East Mole Lighthouse

This cylindrical metal lighthouse, standing 14 meters tall, is located at the end of the east mole in Probolinggo, Indonesia. Its red tower is mounted on a square platform supported by piles. The light emits a single red flash every six seconds. Originally positioned on a pile-supported platform, observations indicate the light has been moved to the breakwater, likely due to harbor infrastructure changes. While the site is open to the public, the tower itself remains closed.

Why it matters: The Probolinggo East Mole light is important for maritime traffic entering and exiting the port, marking the end of the east mole and aiding navigation.
