Sultan Shoal Lighthouse, Navigational lighthouse in Western Anchorage, Singapore

The Sultan Shoal Lighthouse features a white cylindrical tower with a balcony and lantern, connected to a two-story dwelling with a red roof.

Construction of the rubble masonry lighthouse began in 1895 under Commander Charles Quentin Gregan Craufurd from the Royal Navy, replacing an existing beacon.

The structure combines Oriental and Victorian architectural elements, representing the maritime heritage of Singapore through its enduring presence in coastal navigation.

The automated lighthouse operates with LED navigational lanterns and a radar beacon, providing guidance to vessels within a range of 20 nautical miles.

The lighthouse stands on a small island that includes a swimming lagoon with concrete sides and natural sandy bottom near the future Tuas Port.
