There are only a couple of traditional-style lighthouses in Costa Rica, and this is one of those. It's on the Pacific Coast of the country, on a small spit of land in the Gulf of Nicoya, which partially separates the main part of Costa Rica from the Nicoya Peninsula.
This is what the Lighthouse Directory can tell us:
"2014 (station established 1856). Active; focal plane 17 m (56 ft); two quick white flashes every 5 s. 13 m (43 ft) round tower with lantern and gallery. Tower clored with red and white horizontal bands; lantern painted black. ... This is Costa Rica's oldest light station, although it was inactive for many years before 2014."
