Punta Spadillo
A black lava headland at the northeast corner of the island, where a lighthouse, a national park geology museum and a wartime bunker form a short walking route.
Punta Spadillo is a lava headland at the island's northeast. Beside the 19th-century lighthouse are a national park information point and a geology and natural history museum, which explains the island's volcanoes and obsidian. Nearby are World War II bunkers and coastal trails, and you can walk on to the Ondine pool and Cinque Denti Bay. It's ideal for a stroll at dawn or dusk. Museum opening hours are seasonal, so check the park's notices.
