Once we arrive at Cabo de San Antonio Jávea, a protected environment of great ecological and landscape value awaits us. Here, history, geography and biodiversity converge harmoniously.
The Cabo de San Antonio lighthouse and its viewpoints
El Faro del Cabo de San Antonio is one of the emblems of the area. Although it cannot be visited inside, its white silhouette rises above the cliff as a witness to time. Around it, there are several natural viewpoints from which to contemplate the entire bay of Jávea, the Montgó, Cap Prim and even, on clear days, the silhouette of Ibiza on the horizon.
These viewpoints are well signposted and have protective railings. They are ideal places to take photos, watch the sunset or simply take a deep breath and disconnect from the daily rhythm.
Cabo de San Antonio Marine Reserve
Just below the cliffs is the Cabo de San Antonio Marine Reserve, a protected area of very high ecological value. The waters surrounding this space are full of life: meadows of posidonia, fish, molluscs and other marine species that find refuge here.
Fishing and anchoring are not allowed freely, but diving and snorkeling are allowed with special permits. If you are a lover of the underwater world, we recommend you contact a diving school in Jávea that organizes authorized outings in this area. It's absolutely worth it.
