Basco Lighthouse is a lighthouse in the town of Basco in Batanes, the northernmost province in the Philippines.[2][1][3] Located in Naidi Hills in Barangay San Antonio, the lush green hills and the open sea provide a beautiful backdrop for the lighthouse. The place can easily be reached by a 1.2-km (3/4 mile) hike from the Port of Basco.
