El Faro de Cabo Falso (Lighthouse of the False Cape) in Los Cabos, Mexico

      Built in 1890, the abandoned lighthouse signaled ships from 1895 to 1961.  Not much more than a base remains of this lighthouse, the original lens is now installed in a newer lighthouse higher on the beach. 

      The view is spectacular from 500 feet above water, it's surrounded by loose sand for at least a half mile. In addition to the lighthouse it also has the remains of a shipwreck below. Turtles use this beach to lay their eggs.

     It can be approached on foot, ATV or horse.  Go north of town on Highway 19; at Km 2, take a left turn on the dirt road that leads to Cabo Falso.
