Position from SEMAR Notice to Mariners 112/2020 (light list 23-145): 20 35'21.18"N, 86 43'27.55"W. That notice (May 2020) reported the light extinguished, and a 2019 notice had it on reduced-range emergency power - do not rely on it at night without checking current notices. The north end of the island is exposed to the full trade-wind sea.
