Culebrita Lighthouse, Spanish colonial lighthouse on Culebrita island, Puerto Rico.
The stone lighthouse stands on the eastern edge of Culebrita island, featuring a two-story structure with white walls and maritime architectural elements.
The Spanish Crown constructed this navigation facility between 1882 and 1886 to maintain control over Culebra against British and Danish territorial interests.
The lighthouse remains the final Spanish colonial building in the Culebra archipelago, representing maritime navigation heritage in the Caribbean region.
Visitors reach the lighthouse through water taxis from Culebra, with trips costing between 45 and 60 dollars per person for a 20-minute journey.
The facility operated until 1975 when the Coast Guard replaced it with a solar-powered beacon, leaving the original structure to face environmental deterioration.
