Punta Mulas Light

Punta Mulas Light, also known as Faro de Vieques, stands on the north shore of Vieques, Puerto Rico, where it guided ships through the dangerous reef-lined San Juan Passage. First lit in 1896, it was the second lighthouse built on Vieques and helped make navigation safer in an important coastal route. The lighthouse was automated in 1949 as lighthouse operations moved away from resident keepers. Restored in 1992 during the commemoration of the 500th anniversary of Christopher Columbus's first voyage to the Americas, it now serves as a museum focused on the maritime history of Vieques and the Americas and is listed on both U.S. and Puerto Rico historic registers.
