Also known as Rincon Lighthouse or El Faro de Punta Higuero. No admission & lots of parking. It was a nice drive with some hilly narrow roads about 4km from the turn off of Hwy 115. The lighthouse is surrounded by a small park. It’s clean with lots of trees and places to sit. The lighthouse is made of concrete - 70 ft high. You cannot go up the lighthouse. The lighthouse is not the original one. It was rebuilt after it got damaged by an earthquake and then razed it years later after fire damaged. There’s also the Ola Sunset Cafe that’s a good spot to watch the sunset and the surfers on Domes Beach which is close to the lighthouse.

El Faro not only counts with the lighthouse itself, but it is also located in an area with a very nice boardwalk with great views of Domes Beach and a small restaurant with cool hammocks. Parking is also quite easy. Great place for a relaxing stroll with some excellent views.

I love to visit lighthouses. This was a short drive from our hotel. You can’t go inside or get a stamp for your passport book. I wish there was more info about the history by the lighthouse to read. The views from the park are nice. We stopped off by the pier bar for drinks and to watch the surfers. The bathroom doesn’t have toilet paper or soap. When I went to the bar to ask for napkins I was informed they never have toilet paper. With this current time of safety I think toilet paper, soap, and towels should be standard. Overall we spent about an hour and then walked to the Calypso for lunch.

Very nice and beautiful view of the island ,for being such a place needs more maintenance on the green area and clean up the garbage laying around will make it more attractive

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 ...

Nice lighthouse just up from Domes beach. Great views. Brick paved plaza around it with covered areas. Great spot for a picnic lunch. Clean & well maintained. Plenty of free parking available.

The light house was well kept, clean, and the atmosphere was tranquil. The paletero was very friendly. We tried their helados... very unique flavor but delicious!

The lighthouse was awesome. The park around it was very nice including a bar! The restrooms weren't great but they did have running water.
