About Isla de Mona Lighthouse
A 12-meter skeletal steel tower marks this station, located on the north side of Isla de Mona. The current structure was built in 1976, replacing an earlier light station established in 1900. Its light displays a white flash every 5 seconds and has a geographic range of 24.7 nautical miles. The focal plane is situated 98.5 meters above sea level. The site itself is open to visitors, though the tower remains closed.
Why it matters: This light guides vessels navigating between Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic, helping them avoid hazards in this ecologically significant area.
