Cape Engaño Lighthouse, Spanish colonial lighthouse at Palaui Island, Philippines.
The octagonal lighthouse rises 14 meters high on a hilltop, featuring a copper lantern and offering views of the Pacific Ocean and Babuyan Channel.
Construction of Cape Engaño Lighthouse began in September 1888 and finished in December 1892, serving as a navigation aid for vessels from the Pacific Ocean.
The Jamorabon family maintained the lighthouse for generations, distributing monthly government provisions among workers while serving as the primary caretakers.
Visitors reach the lighthouse by taking a boat from San Vicente port to Palaui Island, followed by a trek through the natural terrain.
The lighthouse complex includes original service buildings, a housing pavilion, and an octagonal tower that projects light visibility up to 27 nautical miles.
