This lighthouse was the last one built by the Spaniards in 1898. Its style is neo-classical Spanish, rectangular in shape, 40'4" (12.30 meters) wide by 84'2" (25.64 meters) long, to which is attached a 46' tall hexagonal tower. On the tower rests a bronze dome and inside this a luminaire which is still in use. Originally, it had a third-order Fresnel lens whose light reached about 18 miles away. It currently has a 190mm lens that rotates every 5 seconds. It is also known as Faro Los Morrillos because it is located on a rocky mountain known as "Punta Morrillo".
