About Escalante Lighthouse
Also known as: Escalante (Danao River)
The Escalante Lighthouse is a white concrete tower situated on the northeastern tip of Negros island. Originally standing 10 meters tall, its construction date is not recorded. The lighthouse guides vessels through a passage important for inter-island travel. A notable modification occurred around 2018 when the tower's height was extended, potentially to 20 meters. It is located near a reconstructed wharf in Danao River.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for ferries navigating between Negros and Tabuelan, Cebu, and helps mariners at the northeastern corner of Negros, a key point for regional shipping.
