Maniguin Island lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse on Maniguin Island, Culasi, Philippines.

The cylindrical concrete lighthouse rises 30 meters high near the southeastern point of Maniguin Island, offering navigation support for maritime traffic.

Construction of the lighthouse began in 1906 during American colonial times, using reinforced concrete instead of traditional masonry building techniques.

The lighthouse marks the Cuyo East Passage, serving as a critical navigation point for vessels entering the Sulu Sea from Philippine waters.

Visitors need to arrange boat transportation from Culasi town, which takes approximately three and a half hours to reach the island.

The structure contains 87 steps and uses a fourth-order Fresnel lens that projects light visible up to 20 nautical miles at sea.
