Fodor's Review:
El Faro Punta Mulas, a Spanish-built lighthouse beside the ferry dock in Isabel Segunda, dates from 1895. It was built to guide vessels into the harbor, which is surrounded by a chain of dangerous reefs. It's said that the red light can be seen from as far away as St. Croix and St. Thomas. In 1992 the elegant structure was carefully restored and transformed into a maritime museum that traces much of the island's history, including the visit by South American liberation leader Simón Bolívar. Sadly, the museum had been closed for more than a year when this book was updated, and there were no plans to reopen it. The lighthouse itself is worth a look, however.
