Luminous tower that indicates to ships the proximity of Punta del Fangar, an extensive coastal peninsula that includes sandbanks and dunes. The lighthouse is visible from much of the Ebro Delta and is one of the architectural and landscape symbols of Terres de l'Ebre.

Mountain biking

There is no paved way to get there. You can walk or cycle (wide tires required) along the beach or through the dunes behind the beach to this exceptional spot. The Far stands in a large dune landscape, almost without vegetation and wind-swept. Great contrast to the rest of the Ebro Delta, which is totally green.

Hiking

The Fangar lighthouse, in its current state, dates from 1972, is 20 meters high and projects an intermittent white light every 12 seconds, visible up to 12 miles offshore.

The original lighthouse was built in 1864 but was destroyed during the civil war, being replaced by an eight meter high metal structure until its current modernization.

Because of the place where it is, in the middle of the Fangar peninsula, it is one of the architectural and landscape symbols of the Ebro Delta.
