Raffles Lighthouse visit (14 Apr 2018)

Raffles Lighthouse is a prohibited area. As part of the Singapore Maritime Week (SMW), the Maritime Port Authority (MPA) has organised a free guided tour to Raffles Lighthouse at Singapore's Southernmost Pulau Satumu.

The Raffles Lighthouse is one of five lighthouses currently maintained by MPA. It was completed in 1855, standing 29m tall, and was built with granite mined from Pulau Ubin.
