Tabarca beach lies on the Region of Valencia’s only inhabited island, just off the coast of Alicante. Its pristine waters form part of a protected Marine Reserve teeming with underwater life, while the island itself adds seafood cooking and a fortified historic quarter to the mix.

Tabarca beach, on the island of Tabarca in Alicante, is the island’s main sandy beach and one of the places you’ll want to make time for when you visit.

Tabarca beach: what to expect

Made up of sand and fine gravel, the beach runs along the isthmus that links the fortified town with the more open countryside beyond, creating a natural place to swim or simply spend some time by the water.

It doesn’t take long to see why Tabarca became Spain’s first Marine Reserve. The seabed is exceptionally rich in marine life, with clear water and extensive meadows of Posidonia oceanica making this a favourite with snorkellers and divers. There’s plenty to look out for beneath the surface, from fish and other marine species to the seagrass itself.

Once you’ve had your fill of the sea, head into the narrow streets of the walled town, seek out the Cova del Llop Marí or sit down to a traditional caldero tabarquino in one of the island’s restaurants. A day here gives you a taste of Tabarca’s nature, seafaring traditions and history all at once.
