Faro de Mulegé (Punta El Sombrerito)
26° 54.1′ N · 111° 57.2′ W
The lighthouse atop the hat-shaped hill guarding the Mulegé estuary — once a Mexican battery that exchanged fire with a US Navy schooner during the Mexican-American War.
Practical
Coordinate from OpenStreetMap (Faro de Mulegé). Marks the entrance to the Mulegé anchorage. The hill is a short walk from the river-mouth beach; check locally whether the stairs are open, as access has changed over the years.
