Isla Aguada Lighthouse, Maritime navigation lighthouse in Isla Aguada, Mexico.

The neoclassical lighthouse reaches 18 meters in height and contains three exhibition rooms displaying maritime artifacts and historical navigation instruments.

Built between the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the lighthouse supported maritime trade for Spanish, French, and English vessels carrying merchandise like wine.

The lighthouse structure now houses an underwater archaeology museum with 2,800 books and exhibits featuring recovered items from regional shipwrecks.

Located 42 kilometers from Ciudad del Carmen, the lighthouse offers panoramic views of Laguna Los Remedios and the Gulf of Mexico coastline.

The structure belongs to a network of seven historical lighthouses distributed across the Mexican states of Tamaulipas, Veracruz, Campeche, and Yucatán.
