La Ponderosa

  • Address: Rte. 107, Aguadilla

Fodor's Review:

Along Route 107 -- an unmarked road crossing through a golf course -- you'll find the ruins of La Ponderosa, an old Spanish lighthouse, as well as its replacement Punta Borinquen at Puerto Rico's northwest point. The original was built in 1889 and destroyed by an earthquake in 1918. The U.S. Coast Guard rebuilt the structure in 1920.
