[2] The light is located on a small 6-acre (2.4 ha) key, west of Ponce Harbor.

The island is accessible only by private boat, but it can be seen from the observation tower on the La Guancha boardwalk.

It lacks, though, the distinctive decorative elements of non-existing Punta Higuero or ruinous Guernica.

Its main entrance is on the north facade which opened into a room arrangement similar to the other minor structures of the light house and described further below.

The fact that no plans of this structure have been found, and that its interior has been closed off with cement makes it difficult to describe.

Contrary to other minor lights, the tower is cylindrical, crowned by another cornice less elaborated than the dwelling's.

[5] The original illuminating apparatus, still in use, is an 1888, 6th order fixed red lenticular lens manufactured by Sautter, Lemonnier & Company of France.
