Also known as: Isla de San José Southwest Point (Punta Salinas)
This cylindrical concrete tower, standing 14 meters tall, was originally painted with red and white horizontal bands. It guides vessels on a geographic range of 11 nautical miles with a white light, exhibiting two flashes every 16 seconds. Located on a sandy point on the west side of Isla de San José, the lighthouse directed ships to a salt works that is now abandoned. The tower's lantern has been removed and it is falling into ruin. The nearest port is San Juan de la Costa, 31.1 km away.
Why it matters: The lighthouse was important for vessels navigating around Isla de San José, directing them to the now-defunct salt works.
