Notes
  • Significance: The Punta Figuras Light was built as a local light to aid navigation into Arroyo and Patillas Ports in 1893. Originally it was a 5th order light, one of only two built, and showed a fixed white light with a 12 mile range. The dilapidated building stands surrounded by a swampy, marshy, stagnant, gray sand shore. South of the lighthouse, dark green rolling hills and distant gray-blueish Central Mountain Range cliffs provide a rather surrealistic ambiance to a white painted structure built in a once malaria-infected area. The rectangular and proportioned neo-classic structure vibrates under a hot, deep sky and dramatically counter-balances the entangled, lush tropical vegetation.
