About Isla Mujeres Punta Norte Lighthouse
Also known as: Isla Mujeres Punta Norte (Isla Mujeres Range Rear)
This white concrete tower, standing 16 meters tall, is located on the northwestern tip of Isla Mujeres. It features a lantern and gallery, with the lantern roof painted red. The lighthouse became inactive in 2017, with its light likely relocated due to visibility obstruction from surrounding tall buildings. It is situated near the north end of the island's harbor and is 1.7 kilometers from the nearest port at Isla Mujeres. The site is accessible to visitors, offering a view of a structure that once served the island's maritime traffic.
Why it matters: This lighthouse served as a landmark guiding vessels into the busy north end of Isla Mujeres' harbor. Its inactivation reflects the challenges navigational aids face in developing coastal areas.
