Tanjung Cukuhbalambing (Vlakken Hoek, Balimbing, Belimbing)[2]	Tanjung Cukuhbalambing[2]	Lampung[2]	1880[2]	58 m[2]	63 m[2]	Active (Fragile condition)[2]		16-sided cast iron tower with lantern and gallery, painted white. Prefabricated at The Hague by Enthoven and Co., this historic lighthouse marks the southern point of Sumatra; it is a landfall light for eastbound ships approaching the Sunda Strait. The tsunami waves created by the eruption of Krakatoa in August 1883 damaged the first floor of the lighthouse and destroyed the keeper's house and other station buildings. The light station is now included in the Tambling Wildlife Nature Conservation[2][6]
