Cap d’Artrutx Lighthouse – Balearic Islands – Menorca

Site Overview

The Cap d’Artrutx Lighthouse on Menorca’s southwest tip marks a steep drop-off clad in sea fans and home to large groupers, amberjack and the occasional sunfish or mola mola in summer. Advanced divers follow the vertical wall at 12-32 m, enjoying excellent visibility and the chance of pelagic visitors in the blue. The exposed location and current make it a serious but rewarding dive, and the healthy reef showcases Menorca’s clear-water diving at its best. The site rewards careful planning, good buoyancy and respect for Spain’s marine-protection rules, and remains a favourite among divers who value dramatic volcanic or Mediterranean scenery, historic wrecks and rich marine life across a long, varied season.
