Cap de Sant Antoni (Jávea)
ViewpointThe Cap de Sant Antoni is a high, wild headland between Jávea and Dénia, reached by a quiet road that ends at its lighthouse — and one of the best viewpoints on this part of the Costa Blanca.
Why visit Cap de Sant Antoni
Marking the northern tip of Xàbia’s bay, the cape gives sweeping views from its cliff edge over the marina and town of Jávea below, the sweep of the bay and the open Mediterranean; on a clear day the Balearic Islands appear on the horizon. The lighthouse itself is modest and not open to visitors, but the setting more than makes up for it.
Over Jávea’s bay
From the cliff edge the views open over the marina and town of Jávea, the curve of the bay and the open sea beyond.
The lighthouse
A quiet road ends at the cape’s lighthouse; it is modest and not open to visitors, but it marks the perfect spot to stop and look.
Out to the Balearics
On a clear day the Balearic Islands rise on the horizon across the Mediterranean — a long, open seascape from the headland.
Walking & running
As a protected area it is laced with paths that make fine walking and running ground, with the sea always in view.
Stargazing
Low light pollution out on the cape makes it a rewarding spot after sunset for watching the stars come out over the sea.
No facilities
There are no shops or services up here, so bring water and supplies — part of what keeps the headland quiet and unspoilt.
Practical information
- Getting there: a quiet road runs up to the cape and its lighthouse from Jávea / Dénia; about 1 hour 15 by car from Alicante airport (ALC).
- What to do: take in the clifftop viewpoints over Jávea’s bay, and walk or run the protected headland trails.
- After dark: low light pollution makes it a fine spot for stargazing.
- Bring: water and supplies — there are no shops or facilities, and paths should be kept to in the protected area.
Far, mirador and the Castilian name
Far is Valencian for lighthouse, so Far del Cap de Sant Antoni is simply the lighthouse at the cape — the same structure you will find written as Faro del Cabo de San Antonio in Castilian, or Cape San Antonio in English. The mirador del Cap de Sant Antoni is the railed viewpoint a short walk from the lighthouse, looking back over Jávea’s bay.
