Located at the southern part of Basco Batanes, Tayid Lightouse is the third lighthouse that we visited. It was built on a private property, but was constructed by the government. So, the owner of the land and the government had an agreement that visitors can visit the surroundings of the lighthouse.

Tayid Lighthouse
Our tricycle was parked a few steps away from the entrance, then we started to walk a few meters to reach Tayid Lighthouse. The view going to the lighthouse is a good introduction on what we are about to see.
Then, after a few minutes of walking, we saw the lighthouse.
Going up the lighthouse is prohibited, so we just took the opportunity to take a lot of photos within the area.
The view from Tayid Lighthouse was breathtaking!
Busy went down and I took a photo of him. We were immediately asked by our guide to go back because we are not allowed to roam around the area. Visitors are only allowed to go around the lighthouse up to the rocks that looked like the edge. Our apologies.
So, we just had our picture at the edge of the rocks…
This is a private property so we have to adhere with the rules.
