Lighthouse · Mona, Puerto Rico
Faro de Isla de Mona
The tower, first lit in 1900, is dark now. The working light, one white flash every 5 seconds, stands nearby, about 10 m away. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The only iron lighthouse in Puerto Rico, dark since 1976 and badly rusted, it stands on a bluff on the east side of Mona Island, a nature reserve in the Mona Passage reached by a long boat trip.
