Caja de Muertos Nature Reserve, Nature reserve on offshore islands near Ponce, Puerto Rico.
The reserve includes Caja de Muertos Island, Cayo Morrillito, and Cayo Berbería, featuring white sand beaches, coral reefs, and subtropical dry forests.
The Spanish authorities constructed a lighthouse on the island in 1883, which underwent modernization and automation modifications in 1945.
The reserve protects sea turtle nesting grounds, marine habitats, and endangered species like the Puerto Rican blue-tailed ameiva and black-capped petrel.
Visitors can access the reserve through ferry service from La Guancha Boardwalk in Ponce, with departures occurring twice per day.
The reserve contains four distinct beaches and rises to 240 feet at its peak, where an automated lighthouse continues to operate.
