Punta el Sombrerito, also known as Punta Sombrero, is a small hill overlooks the entrance to the Estero de Mulege (Mulage estuary) and anchorage of the town of Mulege. It was described in 1851, as shaped as a hat or a pyramid on a round base like a fort.^[1] The hill now has a lighthouse at its apex, marking the entrance to the anchorage.^[2]
