Notes
  • Significance: The original lighthouse was built in 1889 in position 18* 29' 26" N - 67* 9' 43" W, very close to the sea in a low sandy point. In 1918 Puerto Rico experienced an earthquake which had its epicenter somewhere on the NW part of the Island, possibly on the Puerto Rico Trench. As a result, two lighthouses were practically demolished on the NW section of Puerto Rico: Punta Borinquen and Punta Higuero (south of Punta Borinquen).
