It was originally known as "Isla de San Pablo" and was used by Barbary pirates as a base for their raids along the Spanish coast. In 1760, King Charles III ordered the fortification of the island and the construction of defensive walls to protect against pirate attacks. The island's name was later changed to "Isla de Tabarca" in honor of the Barbary corsair Tabarka, who was among the captives freed during the island's fortification.Marine Reserve: Tabarca Island and its surrounding waters were declared a Marine Reserve in 1986, making it the first marine reserve in Spain. The area is protected to preserve its rich marine biodiversity and natural resources.Tourism: Today, Tabarca Island is a popular tourist destination, attracting visitors with its beautiful beaches, crystal-clear waters, and historical charm. The island is relatively small, and it's possible to explore it on foot easily. It's a great place for swimming, snorkeling, and enjoying the Mediterranean sun.Cuisine: Tabarca Island is known for its delicious seafood, especially dishes featuring fresh fish caught in the surrounding waters. Visitors can enjoy a variety of seafood dishes at the island's restaurants and eateries.Access: The island is accessible by boat from the nearby coastal towns of Alicante, Santa Pola, and Torrevieja. Regular boat services operate during the tourist season, and the journey typically takes around 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the departure point Cultural Heritage: Apart from the fortifications and walls, the island's historic center features narrow streets, a small church, and charming whitewashed houses, offering a glimpse into its past.
