Cap de Sant Antoni
Mirador 1 of 15 · best: sunrise, or the last hour before sunset when the bay turns gold

Cap de Sant Antoni

The northern gatepost of the route: a lighthouse on a 160 m cliff with the whole bay of Jávea laid out beneath it.

Also known as Mirador del Cabo de San Antonio

The route starts at the top. The Cap de Sant Antoni is the great limestone shoulder that Montgó pushes out into the sea, and the mirador sits beside its lighthouse, built in 1855 and still working. Everything you will ride in the next few hours is visible from here: the port and fishing quarter directly below, the long curve of the Arenal, the Muntanyar rock shelves, Cap Prim and the Portitxol island, and on a clear morning the profile of the Sierra de Aitana far to the south-west. Look the other way and Ibiza sometimes floats on the horizon.

The cape is a marine reserve, and the water at its foot is the clearest on the coast. Our Cap de Sant Antoni kayak tour paddles right underneath this viewpoint into the reserve.

The view
The whole bay of Jávea: port, Arenal, Cap Prim and the Illa del Portitxol; Sierra de Aitana and Ibiza on clear days.
Getting there
Take the road up from the town to the lighthouse (signposted Cap de Sant Antoni / Far); the mirador is beside it. Walkers can climb the old path from the port.
Parking
Small car park at the lighthouse; fills on summer evenings.
Best time
Sunrise, or the last hour before sunset when the bay turns gold.
By bike
About 5 km of steady climbing from the port, never steep. An e-bike makes it a non-event; on a normal bike take it easy and enjoy the switchbacks.
Position
38.8023, 0.1968 · about 160 m above the sea
