The climate, people, beaches: Costa Blanca is the ideal place to disconnect and feel the Mediterranean in all its essence. There’s a lot to see, discover and explore in Alicante. Tabarca Island is one of those destinations where you’ll be able to travel to a unique, charming location without leaving the Region of Valencia.
Only 2 kilometres in length, Tabarca Island has become a mandatory stop on Costa Blanca. Located just three miles to the southeast of Santa Pola, boats leave from here throughout the entire year, bringing you to the island that was declared a national treasure in 1964.
If you want to see Tabarca, there’s a trail that borders the entire island that allows you to take in its seaside landscapes, flora and fauna and seabeds.
Tabarca island is a place where you can snorkel and dive into crystal clear waters to see everything hidden beneath the water; the island’s seabed was declared a Marine Reserve in 1986.
In addition, if you want to rest and enjoy yourself, you can do so on Tabarca’s beach. It is a small beach of coarse sand and pebbles whose main attraction lies in the quality and transparency of its waters: a real paradise in the Mediterranean.
If you visit Alicante, you have to enjoy this island, a place where history and legends are present in each corner.
