Capul Island Lighthouse

The Capul Island Lighthouse is a historic lighthouse on Titoog Point in San Luis at the northern tip of Capul Island, Northern Samar, Philippines. It marks the western entrance to the San Bernardino Strait from Ticao Pass.

The lighthouse is a cylindrical granite tower with a double balcony and lantern. Its exterior is painted white with red trim and a white lantern. The tower rises 12 m, and its light sits at a focal height of 43 m above sea level. It uses a third‑order Fresnel lens, has a range of 18 nmi, and flashes a white light every seven seconds (Fl W 7s). There is no fog signal.

Design work began in 1892 under Guillermo Brockman, who envisioned a cylindrical tower with a pavilion and machinery. Construction commenced in October 1893 under Francisco Perez Muñoz, and the light was first exhibited in December 1896 while the station was still incomplete. Work halted in November 1896 due to the Philippine Revolution, and the pavilion was completed later during the American period. In October 2008 the lighthouse was designated a provincial historic landmark, and it became a National Historical Landmark on 9 September 2013, with a commemorative marker installed on 24 October 2018.

Today the lighthouse remains an active aid to navigation. The tower has been recently renovated, and its original lamp and lantern have been replaced. It continues to be maintained as a historic and functional landmark.
