Malabrigo Lighthouse — Attraction in Lobo

Great view 😊💯💞We drove all the way to Malabrigo from Lobo where we first visited the family of my friend. It's quiet a long drive but it's relaxing and breezy because your route is straight, minimal turns and away from the usual traffic. You'll passed by wide fields and crops and animals like horses and carabaos. There are a few sari-sari store where you can drop by for a quick rest and small talks with the locals too. When you're close to Malabrigo Lighthouse, expect the road to be steep so be cautious when driving especially if the road is wet. Upon reaching the top, there's wide space for parking. The place is windy and the scene is vivid. Of course your visit isn't complete without seeing the beach and waves downstairs. Yes downstairs, you need to walk and count your steps going down but I'm telling you, it's really beautiful, you wouldn't think that you are in Batangas. It's one-of-a-kind. But don't expect sands elsewhere because it's a stoney shore - it's a pebbly piece of paradise. Malabrigo doesn’t have the usual white sand that most beach bums chase. In fact, sand is nowhere to be found, and in its stead are small- to medium-size grey and white cobbles spread over the beach.

How to get to Malabrigo if you don't have your own CAR: From Manila, board the bus to Batangas City and get off at Diversion or Balagtas (around P155). Take a jeepney bound for SM Batangas or tricycle and tell the driver to drop you off at the jeepney terminal bound for Lobo. Take another jeepney to Lobo (P53) and then tricycle to...

Malabrigo Light House

FARO DE PUNTA DE MALABRIGO

This Spanish lighthouse is among the 24 Spanish built lighthouses across the country, located in the scenic coastal road of Brgy. Malabrigo, Lobo, Batangas. Strategically positioned at a natural hill above submerged reefs, it serves as a guide for ships going to Batangas Bay or Sibuyan Sea through the Verde Island Passage. Designed by the Spanish Engineer, Engr. Guillermo Brockman in 1891, which was the master designer of all the Spanish built lighthouses of the country. Construction was spearheaded by Jose Garcia based on a Victorian inspired architecture using bricks and lime cement.

The first lighting was on October 1, 1896. November 27, 2006 – the National Historical Commission of the Philippines installed 2 historical markers, in English and Tagalog, designating it as a National Historical landmark. Up to date, this is considered as one of the OLDEST WORKING and BEST PRESERVED SPANISH LIGHTHOUSE of the PHILIPPINES.

High up on a hill to give it a good Vantage point is the malabrigo lighthouse which is a historic lighthouse built in 1896 making it over a century old and is a well preserved architectural work from the Spanish colonial era. It has a lovely brick tower in the middle of the compound. Entrance here is free and there's plenty of parking. If you're staying at malabrigo pebble beach, you can just walk up here from the main road which is about 300 meters or so. Best to come here after 3 or before sunset so you can take better pictures as the morning Sun goes up behind it making photographs become silhouette shots. The back area where the lighthouse is has been cordoned off so if you want to take a photo of the lighthouse, you can go on the right side area of the facility and take a photo...
