Rimau Island is an islet off the southeastern tip of Penang Island in the Malaysian state of Penang. Located nearly 832 m (0.517 mi) from Penang Island, this uninhabited islet is now home to an active lighthouse, which was built by the British in 1885. This particular lighthouse, a 17 m (56 ft) 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.
