Lanterna Beach

Old lighthouse that's on private property. A small beach in front of the the lighthouse. The beach and lighthouse are at the end of a private road. There is parking off the main asphalt road and then it's roughly an 800m walk down a dirt road to get there. Some people park off the main road while other ignore the private zone and park close to the beach. Up to you what you want to do. When we were there nobody was stopping cars or any one entering the beach.

Getting to the beach is an interesting affair. First there is a no entry sign... and two kilometers further there is a no left turn sign ...., then only a few hundred meters to the next turn (already at the sea) and another 200 to the lighthouse. And cars parked everywhere. If you take into account parking at the first or second sign, then the access can be considered unpleasant (long, in full sun and - after the second sign - in dust). The beach is very rocky, but on the way to the lighthouse there is a lot of grass and trees where you can hide from the sun. The children found out that the beach is arranged in the wrong order - first the rocky beach (slippery and sharp stones), then a section of sea grass and some time later a sandy bottom. It's hard to find fish or crabs, but about 200 meters behind the lighthouse you can find hundreds of sea urchins. The water is very pleasant - warm, with good visibility. Be careful of moving rocks / clearing the paths - there may be a lot of broken glass bottles underneath.

It’s a very rocky but cosy beach. Very few people, trees and shade to relax. But the stones in the water are sharp and a lot of Sea Urchins in the water so be sure to have some swimming shoes. The water is clear and nice to do some snorkeling too.

Really nice little lighthouse and small beach nearby. Lovely place with plenty of trees.

Lot of flat place to put the towels down, there is a line of trees as well, so there is shadow. The water is shallow, and getting deep slowly, the first 15 meter is with rocks, but after that are a nice area of sand bottom. At the sandy part the water is just about 1,5 meters deep...
