The Tabarca archipelago consists of a main island, Tabarca or Nueva Tabarca, which is 1,800 meters long and 400 meters wide, along with islets like La Cantera, La Galera, and La Nao. Its terrain is flat, not exceeding 15 meters in height. At the western end is the walled village of San Pedro and San Pablo.
Located three miles from Cabo de Santa Pola and eight miles from Alicante, Tabarca belongs to the latter city. The population is concentrated in the western part, while the eastern side features only a tower and old farmland.
The waters of Tabarca are crystal clear, with depths ranging from 22.5 to 47.5 meters, fostering great marine biodiversity. The reserve has enabled the recovery of fish species such as groupers, dentex, and gilthead bream.
Its historical heritage includes 18th-century walls, cobbled streets, the Church of San Pedro and San Pablo (1770), a former quarantine station, and a lighthouse from 1854 that is still in operation.
The tour to Tabarca Island will be conducted with the Sea World boat, depending on availability.

Incredible experience on the boat with underwater views. We were able to see fish and the seabed with perfect clarity. The crew was very friendly, and the trip was super relaxing. We will definitely return!

The boat trip was spectacular, with stunning views of the Benidorm coast. Everything was well organized, although I would have liked the tour to include more time for swimming.
