Getting there

Car

If you're driving, start from the center of Figueira da Foz and head towards the coast. Follow the signs for 'Praia da Figueira' (Figueira Beach) and continue on Avenida da República. As you approach the beach, you'll see the lighthouse on your left as you reach the promenade. Parking may be available along the beachfront for a small fee, usually around €1 per hour.

Public Transportation

From the central bus station in Figueira da Foz, take a local bus that heads towards the beach area. Look for buses heading to 'Praia da Figueira' or 'Praia da Claridade.' The ride is approximately 10-15 minutes. Once you arrive at the beach, the lighthouse is a short walk down the promenade. Please check the local bus schedule for operating hours and ticket prices, which are typically around €1.50 each way.

Walking

If you're already near the city center, you can enjoy a pleasant walk to the lighthouse. Head towards the Avenida da República and walk straight towards the beach. The promenade leads directly to the lighthouse, and the walk should take about 20 minutes. Enjoy the scenic views along the way!
