Great Inagua Lighthouse

A white masonry tower of 1870 about a mile south of Matthew Town; climb the stairs for a view across the salt pans, Lake Windsor and on clear days toward Cuba.
Practical
Listed at 20°56'00.7"N 73°40'27.4"W, Fl (2) W 10s, focal height 37 m, range 22 nm; tower about 34 m (Wikipedia). Formerly one of the last kerosene lights (SAIL, 2014); noforeignland now reports solar and LED. Open and climbable as of Feb 15, 2026 (noforeignland); a 2025 visitor found it open by 9 am and free. Step carefully - the stairs are old. An easy walk or bike ride from the harbour; a Morton seawater pumping station is just beyond.
