Cabo de la Nao: A spectacular setting just a few minutes from Cumbre del Sol

Cabo de la Nao, located just a few minutes from the development, stands as a true natural treasure on the coast of Alicante. This site is characterised by its impressive cliff, which rises more than 100 metres above sea level. It offers panoramic views of the Mediterranean that captivate all visitors. The combination of turquoise waters, rock formations and lush vegetation creates a dreamlike landscape.

Given its peculiarities, it is not surprising that a lighthouse was built on the cliffs. In fact, it is one of the main attractions of the area. With its bright light guiding navigators, it has witnessed the rich maritime history of the region. Its surroundings are dotted with small coves and golden sandy beaches, such as Granadella beach, which invite you to enjoy a day of sun, sea and relaxation.

 The lighthouse of Cabo de la Nao

The lighthouse is one of the most outstanding on the Mediterranean coast. Its white tower, some 20 metres high, rises above the cliffs. This allows it to emit light that reaches up to 23 miles, which is indispensable for ships to be guided at night. Also, bear in mind that this is a work that will soon celebrate its centenary, as it began operating in May 1928.
