We visited Mexico for the second time
in August 2009. This was our first trip to the mainland.
We spent a few hours at Cozumel as a port of call on a western
Caribbean cruise in February of 2006. Unfortunately, we
weren't looking for lighthouses on that trip. This time, we
were staying at the Riu Cancun, which is an all-inclusive resort in
the Hotel Zone of Cancun and this lighthouse was visible from our
hotel window. In fact, some of the shots were taken from our
balcony. It is located on the grounds of the Dreams Resort
at Punta Cancún. This is at the northeast point of the resort
area. In fact, it is the the most eastern point of the
region. This is an operating lighthouse, but
the beam was not that strong. The tower is not open to the
public but you could get quite close to it. There is no
identification at the site and web searches identified this
lighthouse is a number of ways, but the Dreams Resort website refers
to it as Punta Cancun.
