Cabra Island lighthouse, Colonial lighthouse on Cabra Island, Philippines

The white brick tower of Cabra Island Lighthouse rises 20 meters above a base structure that includes quarters for the lighthouse keeper.

Spanish authorities completed this navigational structure in 1889 to guide vessels entering Philippine waters from the South China Sea toward Manila Bay.

The lighthouse displays original Spanish inscriptions and architectural elements that reflect the maritime heritage of the Philippine colonial period.

Access requires a boat journey from Tagbac port, with public services departing at 1 PM daily and returning the following morning.

The modern solar-powered replacement tower stands 100 meters from the original structure, which retains its 19th-century copper-clad dome and ball vent.
