Dili Harbor Lighthouse
The Dili Harbor Lighthouse is a navigational beacon located along the coast of Dili Bay. It serves as a guide for ships entering and exiting the harbor. Visitors typically visit the site to view the ocean and walk along the beachfront area.
Getting There
The lighthouse is located near the waterfront, within walking distance or a short drive from the central areas of Dili. Depending on your starting point in the city center, it typically takes about 5 to 10 minutes by vehicle.
