Punta Higuero Lighthouse stands at the westernmost tip of the Island of Puerto Rico, overlooking the vast waters of the Caribbean Sea. This coastal landscape is defined by its series of headlands, including Punta Higuero and Punta Ensenada, which frame the well-known Domes Beach. The terrain rises quickly from the shoreline toward the interior peak of Cerro Martinica, while the drainage of Quebrada Piletas cuts through the coastal shelf. The settlements of Rincón, Stella, and Playa Corecega line the eastern edge of the map, connected by a network of local roads such as Gall Road Blvd and Sector La Joya. This survey captures the transition from the maritime boundary of the Rincón municipality to the residential and recreational corridors that characterize this famous stretch of the western coast.
