About Talisay Lighthouse

The Talisay Lighthouse, constructed in 1994, stands on a headland at Anda on Bohol's southeastern coast. Its structure is a 10-meter cylindrical tower made of fiberglass, shaped like a round barbell. This lighthouse emits a white light, producing a single flash every 8 seconds. It was established to aid vessels navigating the shoals and reefs in this section of the Visayan Sea. The site is open to visitors, though access to the tower itself is restricted.

Why it matters: This lighthouse warns ships about the headland at Anda, a critical point for vessels navigating the southeastern coast of Bohol. Its modern fiberglass construction is a notable feature, reflecting contemporary lighthouse building practices.
