Punta el Sombrerito, also known as Punta Sombrero, is a small hill overlooks the entrance to the Estero de Mulege (Mulage estuary) and anchorage of the town of Mulege.
[1] The hill now has a lighthouse at its apex, marking the entrance to the anchorage.

The battery actively engaged the Schooner Libertad in the Bombardment of Punta Sombrero exchanging fire with it for an hour and a half until it was silenced.
