Phare du cap Ferrat

Directions

You can’t go inside, but it’s still worth knowing about. This lighthouse sits in one of the most scenic corners of the French Riviera and adds depth to any walk around Cap Ferrat.

The Phare du Cap Ferrat, originally built in 1732 and later rebuilt after World War II, is now listed as a historic monument. While the interior is closed to the public, its location offers a wide panoramic view stretching from the Estérel massif to the Italian coast.

You’ll come across it while exploring the peninsula, especially along the coastal paths. The setting combines open sea views, rocky shoreline, and Mediterranean vegetation, making it a great stop for photos or a short break during a walk.

👉 Local Tip: Don’t plan this as a destination on its own. Instead, include it as part of the Cap Ferrat coastal walk for the best overall experience.
