Bugui Point lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse in Aroroy, Philippines

The stone lighthouse features a cylindrical tower with a balcony and lantern, rising 15 meters above the northern tip of Masbate Island.

The construction began in October 1893, paused during the Philippine Revolution in 1896, and resumed under American administration until completion in 1902.

The lighthouse represents Spanish colonial maritime infrastructure, being part of 24 planned first-order lighthouses across the Philippine archipelago.

Visitors can reach the lighthouse by chartering a boat at Aroroy Port for 800 pesos, with the journey taking approximately one hour each way.

The lighthouse emits three white flashes every ten seconds and maintains visibility up to 20 nautical miles across the Sibuyan Sea and Masbate Pass.
