About Isla del Carmen Lighthouse
Also known as: Isla del Carmen (Punta Arena)
Located on the southwestern tip of Isla del Carmen in Mexico's Baja California Sur region, this active lighthouse is a 10-meter-high square skeletal metal tower painted white. It stands 12 meters above sea level and emits a white light with two flashes every 10 seconds. The structure features a gallery and has a geographic range of 11 nautical miles. While the site is open to visitors, the tower itself is closed to the public. The nearest port, Loreto, is approximately 13 kilometers away.
Why it matters: This lighthouse marks the southwestern extremity of Isla del Carmen, guiding vessels past the landmass. Its remote location accessible only by boat offers a unique aspect for those interested in Mexico's coastal navigation.
