About Roca Morrosquillo Lighthouse
This square skeletal tower, standing 14 meters tall, is situated on a concrete platform supported by piles at the southwestern edge of the Islas de San Bernardo. Its structure is distinguished by red and white horizontal bands. The light emits a single white flash every 3 seconds and has a geographic range of 11.6 nautical miles. Roca Morrosquillo was dropped from the Admiralty list at some point. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself is closed. The nearest port is Puerto Limon, located 16.3 kilometers away.
Why it matters: This light warns mariners of a shoal at the southwestern extremity of the Islas de San Bernardo, a complex area with submerged hazards.
