Getting there

Car

If you're driving from the center of Figueira da Foz, head south on Avenida do Brasil towards Rua Miguel Bombarda. Continue straight onto Avenida da Liberdade, following signs to Praia da Claridade. As you approach the beach, turn left onto Rua da Liberdade and follow it until you reach the roundabout. At the roundabout, take the second exit onto Avenida do Parque, which will lead you directly to the Lighthouse. The Lighthouse is located near the cliff edge, and you will find parking available nearby. Note that some parking areas may require a small fee.

Public Transportation

To reach the Lighthouse using public transportation, start at the Figueira da Foz bus station. Take a local bus towards Praia da Claridade (check the local bus schedule for the exact line to take, as routes may vary). The bus will stop near the beach area. Once you disembark, walk towards Avenida do Parque, and follow this road to the Lighthouse. This journey typically takes around 20-30 minutes, depending on the bus schedule. Be aware that a bus ticket may cost around €1.50.

Walking

If you are already in the city center and prefer to walk, head towards the beachfront at Praia da Claridade. From the beach, walk along the promenade, enjoying the ocean views. Continue walking until you reach Avenida do Parque, which will lead you to the Lighthouse. The walk is approximately 1.5 kilometers and should take about 20-25 minutes. This is a scenic route, so be sure to take your time and enjoy the surroundings!
