Punta Mulas Light, Maritime navigation beacon in Vieques, Puerto Rico.

The brick lighthouse stands 10 meters tall on a hilltop, featuring a red light that appears every four seconds with a range of 7 nautical miles.

Constructed in 1896, the Punta Mulas Light served as a critical navigation aid for ships traversing the waters around the eastern coast of Vieques.

The lighthouse exhibits Neoclassical architecture with its formal design elements and now functions as a maritime museum displaying regional navigation history.

Visitors can access the lighthouse at Isabel Segunda in Vieques by contacting 787-741-0060 for tours and current operating schedules.

The structure maintains its original sixth-order Fresnel lens, which produces specific optical patterns for maritime navigation in the Caribbean Sea.
