Lighthouse description

This lighthouse was built in 1839 at the Cape of Struga, in the central part of the southern side of the island of Lastovo, at the entrance into the Skrivena luka bay. Lastovo is a poorly populated island situated 55 NM from Split and Dubrovnik. It is 5 km away from the town of Lastovo and 15 km away from the port of Ubli. Numerous islands, cliffs and lagoons surround the island. Near the lighthouse, on the northern side of the peninsula, there are centennial pine woods that can be reached in 15 minutes. The lighthouse is located 70 m above the sea level, at the very edge of a steep cliff with a beautiful view of the surrounding area. A steep non-asphalted road connects the lighthouse with the villages on the island enabling guests to buy provisions. The great sea depths under the cliffs are ideal for fishing with many varieties of fish and crab that can be caught. Transfer to the island is possible by ferry from Split to Ubli (4 hours and 45 minutes).

The lighthouse has a keeper.
