Most beautiful lighthouse! We drove out in early March on a very windy day. Drove within 100 yards of the lighthouse. Easy walk maybe 5 minutes. The lighthouse was not opened, not sure if it ever is open? Well worth the drive from Mahon to see this strikingly beautiful structure.

Enjoy a delightful trip on board the Don Joan around the Port of Mahon. The tour lasts 1 hour and we offer an English commentary to get to know the history, characteristics and peculiarities of this special harbour. Throughout the tour you can get the best views both from the top deck and from the shelter of the main deck. On the Don Joan you are on board the largest, most modern and comfortable catamaran in Menorca. When we reach the mouth of the harbour for underwater viewing we open the four chambers so you can go down and watch the fish and sea life while sitting on benches. Enjoy the four largest underwater viewing chambers in Menorca, with 24 glass windows for the best panoramic viewing of the seabed. Utmost comfort and safety for the whole family guaranteed.
6. Fortaleza De Isabel II
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 847 reviews
The Fortress of Isabel II was built between the years 1850 and 1875; it is located in one of the most beautiful spots on the island of Minorca and constituiting one of the best examples of late XIXth Century military architecture. This is a huge historic fort, open to the public, situated at the mouth of the harbour of Mahon. Guided tours are available (with prior booking) but you can walk freely with handsets. Itis well organised.

Having a passion for the nautical and quite a bit of experience rebuffing sea men, there was no way I was going to miss out on this naval fort. The first thing of note is the wonderful windy road that leads you up and along the north side of Mahon harbour (which one might like to know is one of the longest natural harbours in the world). As your car rolls over the final hill you will be awe struck by the intimidating and extensive outer walls of fort Isabella the 2nd. once inside having paid your reasonable entry fee and navigated your way through the all too generic gift shop, which quiet disappointingly sells no pictures or calendars of strapping young sailors, One finds oneself in a vast open and extensive coastal fort with long archway laden walk ways, gun turrets and fortified walls galore. Like yours truly for its age the fort is in excellent condition and much like the wedding dress bought by my Pilates teacher the fort has never actually been used, at least not in battle that is. As a parent it’s a wonderful place to take a young child who can peep through gun holes, climb walls and generally run riot. although the nanny did really seem to struggle pushing the pram along the many cobbles and hauling it up and down the many stairs - this isn’t a place I’d call wheelchair friendly. There is plenty to entertain history buffs, some big guns that kids can climb on and a wonderful display on Spanish Royal history that features a rather fetching picture of my dear Elizabeth the 2nd sharing a good laugh with the king of Spain. There are also some lovely acoustics in the archways if one fancies a turn with friends or maybe a more fitting sea shanty or two. My only criticisms would be that the cafe was rather limited and would not be some where To take lunch, and you should really bring practical shoes. Any serious history buff will probably want to spring the £3 for the audio tour as signs are few and far between. Quite a way to spend two hours
