36 Faro Inclinado in Puerto Morelos, Mexico

Although this leaning lighthouse has become the symbol for Puerto Morelos, it was not created as a marketing prop next to the pier (malecon). This 33 foot beacon was built in 1946 to replace the original light erected in 1905. On September 16, 1967, the high waves and sustained winds exceeding 100 m.p.h. from Hurricane Beulah weakened its foundation causing it to tilt. The locals then named it Faro Inclinado meaning Inclined Lighthouse.
