About Tanjung Sekodi Lighthouse

This white skeletal tower stands 13 meters tall on a platform offshore from a low-lying, swampy cape. Its focal plane reaches 31 meters above the water. The light emits a single white flash every 7.5 seconds, visible for 15.5 nautical miles. The current structure, installed around 2010, replaced an earlier skeletal tower. Its foundation blocks remain visible near the site on the southeastern corner of Bengkalis Island. The lighthouse is situated 17.6 kilometers from the Lalang Marine Terminal.

Why it matters: The light warns vessels of the swampy cape at Bengkalis Island's southeastern corner, a critical point for local shipping lanes.
