About Mexico Lighthouses Lighthouse
This concrete lighthouse is located on the East Cape of Baja California, situated south of La Ribera and 18 kilometers north of Cabo Pulma. The structure is a strongly conical tower, standing 12 meters tall, and was formerly painted with black and white horizontal bands. It features a double gallery. The lighthouse is now inactive and abandoned, and its adjacent keeper's house is also derelict. The site is located on a military reservation and is closed to the public.
Why it matters: The lighthouse, with its distinctive concrete tower, once marked a significant point for coastal navigation in the Los Cabos region and serves as a historical landmark of early maritime infrastructure.
