BUOYS

The waters surrounding the island contain nine different rescue buoys. You can spot these objects from the dry land and they create specific sounds, so you shouldn't have any problems finding them. The buoys don't hold any treasures, but it'll be more important to swim under them. Each time you'll be allowed to collect a few things, but don't expect treasures of unbelievable value. The only buoy worth taking a closer look at is the one closest to the Coastal Grotto. If you swim under the buoy you'll come across a dinosaur skeleton [#92].

LIGHTHOUSE

The Point Lookout Lighthouse was a key object during one of the main quests and while you were completing it you've probably noticed that the building was inactive. You change that, but first you must find a bulb large enough to fit in the mechanism. Travel to a placed marked as the Truck Wreckage. Enter the truck and find an undamaged lighthouse bulb [#93].

[#94]

Once you've taken the bulb you may proceed to the Point Lookout Lighthouse. If this is your first visit the structure shouldn't be protected by anyone, but if you were here before you'll come across a large group of smugglers. Most of your enemies will occupy the stairs [#94] and you should be happy to see them, because they've brought along a lot of useful items. Be careful while trying to get to the top of the lighthouse, because one of the smugglers will be carrying a rocket launcher. Eliminate him using one of your more powerful weapons.

[#95]

Make sure to look around when you get to the top of the staircase, because you'll have a chance to pick up another rocket launcher, as well as drugs, ammunition and medical supplies. Open a nearby door to return outside and focus on securing this entire balcony. Notice that there's a large stash of supplies and weapons nearby [#95]. Take whatever you can carry. You can now activate the lighthouse by placing the bulb in a correct slot and starting the mechanism. Sadly in order to exit the lighthouse you must use the stairs again, because if you jump you'll die instead of landing in the water safely.

SHOPPING

You'll probably be in desperate need of supplies more than once during your stay in Point Lookout. Thankfully you won't have to return to Capitol Wasteland to resupply, because there are a few friendly characters in Point Lookout. My recommendation is Haley's Hardware [#96]. The owner here can repair your equipment and he's selling A LOT of items. Notice that he's not hiding his stock, so you can try stealing items from him. You can also murder Haley and loot his body. It's not a wise decision, though, unless you're planning on leaving Point Lookout for good.

[#97]

A second location worth of your interest is a House of Wares [#97]. In this case you can talk to a woman named Panada. Notice that her store is outside, so it is possible for her to die if you engage hostile units in direct combat. If you see that Panada has died you can loot her body and you can also inspect her stash. Notice that if you steal from her stash you will receive negative karma points, so you should think it through if you're playing as a good characters.
