Tabarca, Mediterranean island in Alicante, Spain.
This flat landmass extends 1800 meters in length and 450 meters in width, featuring white buildings, protected walls, and transparent waters.
King Carlos III established a fortified settlement in 1770 for Genoese refugees who escaped captivity from the Tunisian island of Tabarka.
The Nova Tabarca Museum presents maritime artifacts, traditional fishing methods, and documents illustrating the connection between inhabitants and their environment.
Regular ferry services operate from Santa Pola and Alicante ports, with increased frequency during summer months from May through September.
The marine reserve surrounding the island contains extensive Posidonia seagrass meadows, supporting numerous fish species and Mediterranean marine life.
