Cap de Ses Salines
Description
Cap de Ses Salines is a natural headland with a lighthouse at the southern tip of Mallorca, serving as a starting point for coastal walks and a spectacular viewpoint over the open sea.
Lighthouse and Panorama
The white lighthouse, built in 1863 and still in operation today, stands proudly above the rocky coastline. You can explore it from the outside, though the interior is not open to visitors. On a clear day, the island of Cabrera is clearly visible from here. The headland impresses with sweeping sea views and a rugged, jagged coastline — and is widely regarded as a particularly special spot for sunsets.
Walking and Nature
Footpaths lead along the rocky coast in both directions, with natural sandy beaches and coves within easy walking distance. If you're heading to Cala Marmols, pack sturdy footwear along with water and everything you need for a day at the beach. The headland is also a great spot for birdwatching.
Location and Getting There
The headland sits in the south-east of Mallorca, postcode 07650, and is accessible via the country road. Parking at the lighthouse is limited, and if the small car park is full you'll need to pull in along the roadside. Arriving early is especially advisable at weekends during the summer months.
Practical Notes
Vehicles parked on the roadside have occasionally been targeted by break-ins, so it's best not to leave valuables in your car. Litter around the lighthouse can sometimes be an issue and may affect your visit.
