Tabarca from Torrevieja: an island day trip straight from the harbour
You do not need to travel to Alicante or Santa Pola first: Turismo Torrevieja lists a regular Tabarca service directly from Torrevieja harbour.
Why make it a full day trip?
The tourism site describes Tabarca as the only inhabited island in the Valencian Community. Its Torrevieja leisure guide also calls Tabarca Spain's first marine reserve.
Where does the boat leave from?
The regular service departs from Torrevieja harbour and Turismo Torrevieja names Marítimas Torrevieja as the operator. The crawl does not provide a reliable current fare or daily timetable, so check those directly before travelling.
Who is the trip for?
Tabarca makes sense when you want to dedicate most of a day to the sea and island. For a shorter outing, a coastal boat ride or Torrevieja's harbour promenades are easier. Confirm departure, return time and weather-related changes with the operator.
