The jeep kicks up island dust as it rumbles south from San Miguel, palms sliding by like pages of a field guide. Within minutes the road opens to Punta Sur: a low coastline where the lighthouse perches and the sea pulls at the shore. Climbing the Celarain lighthouse rewards a wide, Atlantic view; the breeze seems to push you forward toward white sand and shutter-click panoramas.
