The White shore It is one of the areas of our country that receives more tourism every year, with a privileged environment, good weather throughout the summer and places of great interest. Belonging to the Valencian Community, there is a single inhabited island, the Tabarca Island, which is located in front of Alicante, very close to Cabo de Santa Pola. A must see island if you are going to be in that area as it is beautiful.
This in a small archipelago which has, in addition to Tabarca, islets such as La Galera, La Nao or La Cantera, although none of them is inhabited. It is a small island that does not reach 2,000 meters in length and has a width of about 400 meters, dedicated entirely to tourism and fishing, the two sectors that move it economically.
Despite being populated, only a few actually live there. 70 people during the winter season, and in summer that number is multiplied by 10, which still does not even reach 1,000 people, making it a very quiet place to spend a vacation or a couple of days off. In high season, it is estimated that between those who are there and those who are going to spend the day there are about 3,000 people, more or less between April and October.
Things to see in Isla de Tabarca
Among the most interesting things you can visit is the wall (made of stone and with 3 doors in the Baroque style), the Puerta de Levante (connects the city with the area where the port is), the Church of San Pedro and San Pablo, the Governor's House, the San José Tower, El Faro or the Nueva Tabarca Museum.
As for the natural environment, it is a true wonder that houses different terrestrial and marine ecosystems, with an excellent state of conservation. Its waters are the Mediterranean Marine Reserve, being the first Spanish area to achieve this. Highlights the Llop Marí Cave, with two mouths that access the sea, and the Tabarca beach, which measures 200 meters and has crystal clear waters where you can practice diving and other activities.
