The tower was first lit in 1882 and is still an aid to navigation. Its light shows one white flash every 20 seconds, seen up to 11 nautical miles out. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It stands on white limestone cliffs at the southwest tip of Puerto Rico, inside the Cabo Rojo National Wildlife Refuge, and the town of Cabo Rojo opens it to visitors.
