Historic lighthouse
The Faro de Tostón, an iconic lighthouse on the north-west coast, offers a breathtaking view of the Atlantic.
Today's lighthouse is the third building on this site and the only one that is still in active use. The two predecessors have also been preserved and, with their different heights and construction methods, provide an interesting historical insight. The tallest tower continues to serve as an important landmark for ships.
There is also an impressive lagoon landscape with small bays in the surrounding area and a special magic unfolds at sunset - a favourite subject for photographers who want to capture the lighthouse and the wild landscape in the changing light.
- TIP
Ideal place for sunsets
- At sunset, the lighthouse and the nearby lagoons provide an extraordinary backdrop and are the perfect place to enjoy the impressive play of colours over the Atlantic.
- RECOMMENDATION
Lagoon landscape & natural pools
- A visit to the lighthouse can be ideally combined with a visit to the nearby Playa de Los Charcos. The natural seawater pools and the tranquil lagoon landscape invite you to linger - an ideal place to enjoy the peaceful surroundings and crystal-clear water.
