Tabarca Island
Tabarca Island, the only inhabited island in the Valencian Community, is a captivating marine reserve off the coast of Alicante, boasting crystal-clear waters perfect for swimming and snorkeling. This historic island, fortified in the 18th century to house Genoese fishermen, offers a charming walled village, scenic walks, and a unique glimpse into Mediterranean heritage. While the island itself is free to explore, visitors can also delve into its past at the Nueva Tabarca Museum, which operates with seasonal hours.
