Travel Information
Get there as early as you can. Getting there is not difficult, there is a paved road to the lighthouse but you can not use it because there is a military base and it is closed to vehicles. You should park around Cala Portal Vells. Short before you see a closed gate, park your car there. From here on it is a 3 km hike through pine woods along the coastline. After around 2km you pass another spot at the bay of Cala Figuera. It is around 40-50 min walking to the lighthouse. So calculate around 80 minutes before the time you wish to be there.
