Built by the Engineering Department of the Port Authority of Jamaica, Lover's Leap Lighthouse is Jamaica's most recent. It is a 100feet tall cylindrical steel(?) tower with lantern and octagonal gallery.[2] It is powered by three different power sources: a generator, electricity and a set of batteries.[3]
It is the highest lighthouse in the Western Hemisphere being located at the top of a spectacular vertical cliff; the surrounding area has been developed as a tourist attraction, with a restaurant and observation deck near the lighthouse.[2]
It is maintained by the Port Authority of Jamaica, an agency of the Ministry of Transport and Works,[2] and is on the list of designated National Heritage Sites in Jamaica.
