Cape Bojeador Lighthouse towers 386 feet on a hill and is the tallest in the country. It was built in 1892 by the Spanish government to guide the galleon ships. It is 550 kilometers away from Manila or about 12 hours by land but only a few minutes away from the famous white sand beaches of Pagudpud. The lighthouse has a spiral staircase and 82 steps leading to the tower. The secluded and lonely location is a feature that all lighthouses share.

Today, the guiding light was replaced by a new technology. Solar panels provide energy to illuminate the light which is turned on automatically by a light-sensitive device. Some says that there are three white lights flash every five seconds. The original lens was damaged by an earthquake in 1990, but several rotating mechanisms are intact. Cape Bojeador Lighthouse is the most visited in the country.
