The grounds were well maintained & good to walk around, with great ocean views cliff side, tropical local plants, trees, & flowers, sitting areas & benches, a shelter/gazebo like look out point & also view of the beach next to it which is frequented by surfers since Rincon...

This place has been redone recently I think. The walkways were great and the vistas were stunning. The whole complex was clean and very nicely done. We were very impressed.

A beautiful view of the coast, don't missed! You can see the surfers at the Beach, most of the time there are some artesans at the Entrance, where you can have the opportunity to buy some souvenirs. An excellent view for photos for Weddings ...

There are other attracive lighthouses in PR. This one doesnt say much. Its a good place to take pictures, but dont feel bad if you missed it, not worth it.

As the title suggests, this attraction offers wonderful picture taking opportunities, and although it was a bit dead when we went there tourist wise (which suited us just fine!) there were a couple of merchants setup in the parking lot. Definitely worth a visit.

Don't think you can go up the lighthouse because it is closed but the view is spectacular. You can see where the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea meet. A few steps from Surfer's Beach.

The landscape, view, colors, and overall experience was worth a stroll around the light house. We actually took several walks and jogs through rincon and they were all nice. The light house was a nice area and wasnt too crowded when we went.

View is very nice looking out over the water. Just different to see the waves moving in a few different directions. Fun to watch the surfers catch the waves when it is a little rough out there.
