Cavalleria lighthouse

Charming places · Menorca's lighthouses

The lighthouse at Menorca’s northernmost point, above 90-metre cliffs. From here you see the north coast, the natural harbour of Sanitja and, on clear days, Mallorca.

The wildest north

The lighthouse was built in 1857 on the cape that closes the island to the north. Around it, a landscape of low scrub and rock falling sheer into the sea, home to seabirds.

On the way you pass the natural harbour of Sanitja, where there was a Roman settlement, and Cavalleria beach, with reddish sand.

Tips

The tramontana wind blows hard: hold on to your hat and stay away from the cliff edge.
