Punta Campanella Lighthouse stands at the extreme western point of the Sorrento Peninsula, marking the boundary between the Gulf of Naples and the Gulf of Salerno. This active lighthouse, built in the 19th century, sits atop a rocky promontory with sheer cliffs plunging into the turquoise sea. The area is part of the Punta Campanella Marine Protected Area, known for its rich biodiversity and clear waters. Visitors can hike to the lighthouse along scenic trails, enjoying sweeping views of the Amalfi Coast, Capri, and the Li Galli islands. The surrounding nature reserve offers opportunities for birdwatching and photography. The lighthouse itself is not open to the public, but the viewpoint is spectacular.
