Cap Sant Antoni is located between Jávea and Dénia, in Montgó Nature Park. This spectacular cliff was recognised as a protected area in 1993.
The restrictions in motor boating and relentless tourist exploitation since 1993 have resulted in a rapid regeneration of flora and fauna. Nowadays, this hidden spot boasts lush marine vegetation and fauna, including posidonias, octopuses and gilt-head breams. The San Antoni cape is 20 m deep.
From the top of the cliff -about 150 metres above sea level- you can have fantastic views of Ibiza and the Valencia Gulf. The lighthouse is a reminder of the times when the cape was a viewpoint to spot pirates. This place also housed a hermitage that gave Sant Antoni its name.
