Anguillita Lighthouse

Anguillita Lighthouse is a notable landmark located on Anguillita Island in the Atlantic Ocean, off the western tip of Anguilla in the Caribbean. The lighthouse is situated on a small, uninhabited rocky island, making it a rare sight for tourists. The island is inaccessible by foot due to its steep terrain, but it can be reached by sea kayak.

Built on a concrete base, the lighthouse features a square prism skeletal tower with a beacon. It is constructed from aluminum and stands as a prominent feature on the island. The surrounding waters offer excellent scuba diving and snorkeling opportunities, with species such as barracudas, stingrays, and turtles often spotted in the area.

Anguillita Island is the southernmost point of the Anguilla territory, with an average elevation of -89 feet below sea level. The island is rarely visited due to its inaccessibility, but it remains a significant landmark and a popular destination for those interested in exploring the Caribbean's unique geography and marine life.
