Built in the late 1800’s and remained as one of the few historical lighthouses in the country, the Faro de Punta Capones or better known as Capones Island Lighthouse is located at Capones Island off the coast of Brgy. Pundaquit, San Antonio, Zambales. It has always been a guide to ships entering and leaving Subic Bay, as well as to warn passing vessels of the rocks around the island that may cause danger.

The lighthouse was the only renovated structure and replaced with modern solar-power for its improvement, and although the keeper’s house was left to age and deteriorate, it became an amazing photographic location that gives out an eerie-vibe; the once-painted walls peeling off and bricks falling down while nature slowly takes over, and the feeling of isolation and abandonment.

The Capones Lighthouse is a place of history, it’s definitely your visit when you’re into historical tourist spots!
