Struga Lighthouse

Struga Lighthouse stands proudly on the southern edge of Lastovo Island, Croatia, offering visitors one of the most breathtaking viewpoints in the Adriatic. Built in 1839, it is among the oldest lighthouses in the country and is perched atop a dramatic 70-meter cliff overlooking Skrivena Luka bay. The lighthouse’s location provides sweeping vistas of the Lastovo archipelago, especially enchanting at dusk when the sky glows over the sea.

While the lighthouse itself is not open for casual tours, it offers a unique opportunity for an extended stay: four well-equipped apartments within the lighthouse complex can accommodate up to 14 guests, making it a memorable base for families or small groups seeking adventure and tranquility. The area around Struga Lighthouse is perfect for nature lovers, with pine forest paths leading down to a concrete pier and rocky beaches ideal for swimming and sunbathing. The waters here are deep and clear, and the rocky shoreline is well-suited for families looking for a peaceful escape.

Access to the lighthouse is via a scenic drive from the village of Ubli, about 20 kilometers away, and transfers can be arranged with the lighthouse keeper, including options from Split airport. Visitors should exercise caution near the high cliffs, but the reward is a serene and unforgettable experience surrounded by Lastovo’s natural beauty. Struga Lighthouse is open year-round, welcoming those who wish to immerse themselves in the island’s wild charm and maritime history.
