Tayid Lighthouse
A hexagonal white lighthouse on a grassy hilltop in Mahatao, overlooking the Pacific. It is one of the most photogenic lighthouses in the Batanes.
Tayid Lighthouse sits on a hill east of Mahatao town. Its hexagonal white tower is topped with a red lantern room, surrounded by open green slopes, and it faces the Pacific to the east, making it a great spot for watching sunrise and photographing the lighthouse among the grasslands. There is a small café nearby. The lighthouse lies about 10 km south of Basco. You can drive to the foot of the hill and then walk uphill for a few minutes. It is often visited together with Marlboro Hills and Diura Fishing Village.
