Malapascua Lighthouse

About Malapascua Lighthouse

The Malapascua Lighthouse sits at the northern tip of Malapascua Island, offering panoramic views of the surrounding seas and neighboring islands. This white lighthouse serves as both a navigation aid and one of the island's most scenic spots, particularly popular for sunrise and sunset viewing. The walk to the lighthouse takes visitors through the quieter, less developed northern part of the island, passing through local villages and coconut groves. The elevated position of the lighthouse provides 360-degree views, including sights of Carnaza Island to the northwest and the Cebu mainland to the south on clear days. The lighthouse area has become a favorite spot for photographers and couples seeking romantic sunset views away from the busier Bounty Beach. The rocks below the lighthouse also offer opportunities for tide pool exploration and snorkeling. It's a peaceful spot that showcases the natural beauty of Malapascua beyond its famous diving.

Tips for Visitors

1. 1Allow 20-30 minutes to walk from Bounty Beach. Bring water and sun protection. Sunrise here is beautiful as you face east. The path is easy but wear comfortable shoes. Great for morning walks after thresher shark dives.
