Rimau Island


Rimau Island is an islet off the southern coast of Penang Island in the State of Penang, Malaysia. Located nearly from the southeastern tip of Penang Island, this uninhabited islet is now home to an active lighthouse, which was built by the British in 1885. This particular lighthouse, a round cylindrical cast iron tower with lantern and gallery, as well as a single-storey house for the lightkeeper, serves as a beacon for vessels entering the Penang Strait from the south.
