About a month ago, access to Formentor was restricted between km 2 and the beach and from the beach to the lighthouse between 10:00 and 19:00, but that hasn’t stopped people visiting the lighthouse.

The gauging data recorded by the DGT registration meters at the beginning of the restricted section and on the beach, reveals that the bulk of trips by private vehicle to the beach occur between 10:00-19:00 and most are at dusk. 113,177 trips were recorded on the road between June 15 and July 17.

Restrictions have been in place between the beach and Formentor lighthouse since 2018 and they were extended to cover the entire road this year, for the first time.

Only previously authorised vehicles, such as workers and residents of the restricted area, reduced mobility vehicles, emergency services and the Formentor shuttle can travel between the beach and the lighthouse during restricted hours.

Drivers who only drive from Puerto Pollença to the beach can request authorisation ...

The aim is to raise awareness amongst visitors and residents so that they use the shuttle instead of private vehicles to visit Formentor.

The restrictions at Formentor will remain in force until September 15.

Roadworks on Formentor access road
...

In September 2021, the Balearic Port Authority announced that urgent repairs were required after an embankment collapsed and work was also needed on part of the access road to the lighthouse.

Work has been underway for weeks and it's not likely to be completed until mid-June, but hundreds of drivers are just ignoring the signs that the road is closed due to road works, then they get trapped for hours and can’t go back towards the beach because there’s so many cars it’s impossible to turn around.

Traffic restrictions from Puerto Pollensa to Formentor beach and to the lighthouse will start on June 23 and not on June 15 as in previous years. The later start is due to roadworks that have in any event meant a road closure; these roadworks are scheduled to be completed by June 22.

The restrictions will apply each day from 10am to 10.30pm until September 15. ...

Private cars will be able to go as far as the beach, but proof of a purchase (e.g. a ticket for the car park) will need to be produced in order to avoid a fine. Camera readers will be operating. ... There will be information for drivers in Puerto Pollensa.

Beyond the beach, access will be very limited, e.g. to cyclists and the shuttle bus from Puerto Pollensa, which will run until 10.30pm.

We’re travelling to PP in three weeks time for our first non-July/August trip for a good few years. From what I’ve read in this thread, am I right in understanding that we can drive to the lighthouse at this time of year?

There have been lots of work being done on the Cabo de Formentor road due to maintenance and damage and therefore the road has been closed to traffic. I will try to find out what the state of play is atm

Oh, that’s very kind of you. We’re bringing my 89 year old mother in law to PP for her first visit and her first overseas holiday in many years, so we’ve put together an itinerary of our highlights of 22 years of visiting Mallorca, and would certainly like to get her to the lighthouse if possible
