Baja Lighthouses


which one do you think is the best looking lighthouse in Baja?

last I counted we have around 150 old and new lighthouses
sometimes I I find a new to me in random Baja videos on youtube
like the one below at Punta Lobo

btw, Tijuana, Guerrero Negro and San Felipe style are almost identical

There is a lighthouse at El Vergel, Km. 35 south of San Felipe. It has been there since the 1980s.
