Dixon Hill Lighthouse
Nautical Sites, San Salvador
Fodor's Review:
A couple of miles south of Graham's Harbour stands. Built around 1856, it's still hand-operated. The lighthouse keeper must wind the apparatus that projects the light, which beams out to sea every 15 seconds to a maximum distance of 19 mi, depending on visibility. A climb to the top of the 160-foot landmark offers a fabulous view of the island, which includes a series of inland lakes. The keeper is present 24 hours a day. Knock on his door, and he'll take you up to the top and explain the machinery. Drop $1 in the box when you sign the guest book on the way out.
