Nestled on the headland west of Getares, in the southern district of Algeciras, Punto Carnero and its historic lighthouse offer visitors a breathtaking experience of the Strait of Gibraltar. The Punto Carnero Lighthouse, first lit in 1874, is a striking feature of this rugged coastline. Built to guide ships safely through the busy waters of the Strait of Gibraltar, the lighthouse still stands as a sentinel over the waves, casting its beam across one of the worlds most important maritime routes. Its classic cylindrical stone tower provides a picturesque contrast against the deep blue of the sea and sky.
