Discover the charm of Isla Tabarca, a small but stunning island in the Mediterranean Sea, just off the coast of Santa Pola, Alicante. Once a refuge for pirates and later fortified by order of King Charles III, Tabarca boasts a rich history dating back to Roman times. Today, it’s a peaceful destination known for its crystal-clear waters, colorful marine life, and protected marine reserve—the Tabarca Marine Reserve, the first of its kind in Spain.
Ideal for snorkeling, diving, and exploring, Isla Tabarca offers a perfect mix of natural beauty and cultural heritage. We’ll travel by bus to Santa Pola, where a scenic catamaran ride takes us to the island. Spend the day discovering quiet coves, charming streets, and the island’s serene Mediterranean atmosphere—an unforgettable escape on the Costa Blanca.
