The Punta Mona lighthouse is on the promontory at Punta de la Mona, between La Herradura and the Marina del Este. This lighthouse was originally built as a watchtower in the 1700s and was converted to a lighthouse in 1992.

The lighthouse shows a white flash every 5 seconds and can be seen at up to 15 nautical miles out to sea. The light can be seen at night to the east from the Balcon de Europa in Nerja.
