Punta Tuna Light

Punta Tuna Light stands at Puerto Rico’s southeasternmost point in Maunabo, where it guided shipping along the junction of the island’s southern and eastern coasts. Designed by Joaquín Gisbert in 1890, it was built from 1891 to 1893 and first lit in 1892 as a third-order light. Originally called Faro de Mala Pascua, it was later moved and renamed to warn ships away from the Sargent reef. The lighthouse survived major storms including Hurricanes San Ciriaco and San Felipe II and was damaged again by Hurricane Maria. Automated in 1989 and no longer operating, it remains historically significant and has undergone restoration.
