The Ligthouses in Los Cabos have a long history of construction

The lighthouses that line the shoreline of Cabo San Lucas' picturesque coastline are a defining feature of the area.

A timeline of Cabo San Lucas' lighthouse building projects is provided below:

Falso Faro Viejo: The Old Fake Lighthouse The first lighthouse in Cabo San Lucas was Faro Viejo, which was constructed in 1916.

Faro Viejo is still standing as a historical landmark today, and tourists can climb to the top for sweeping vistas of the coastline.

The modern lighthouse, Faro Nuevo, in Cabo San Lucas was built in the 1950s to take the place of Faro Viejo as the main compass for ships entering the port.

This lighthouse projects a strong light beam that can be seen for miles out to sea from its perch atop a cliff.
