Cabrera Maritime-Terrestrial National Park

What you will find

The park is spread across the 19 islands and islets that form the Cabrera archipelago. Cabrera island stands out as the largest of them. Replete with coves, cliffs, and a few small beaches, its jagged coastline is the reason its natural beauty remains almost untouched. Here, thick scrubland dominates the landscape with juniper and mastic bushes and a few Aleppo pines. This vegetation provides cover for the local wildlife, in particular the birds who nest or migrate on Cabrera throughout the whole year.The park's real treasure is found in its immense coastlines. Almost-clear waters sparkle around the archipelago. They trickle into the grottos and caves under the rocks, carving out fascinating formations like the one at the Laguna Azul or Blue Lagoon, one of the park's major attractions.In this water a large underwater “forest” also grows: the Posidonia oceanica forest. Only present in the Mediterranean, this plant is responsible for Cabrera's aquatic ecosystem. Fish and crustaceans feed on the rich seagrass, sharing the habitat with the other incredible marine life on the sea bed. Corals and algae welcome you to their unique underwater landscape.

Routes around the Park

The only way to reach Cabrera is by boat from the island of Mallorca. Public transport will drop you at the park's only wharf: The Port of Cabrera. You can also make your own way by private boat, but you will need to request prior permission from the authorities.When you arrive, you'll discover nine routes that run through the island. They are not particularly long because Cabrera is not large. It is, however, a good idea to take precautions in the heat and the sun, particularly in the spring and summer months.Map of the Cabrera Maritime-Terrestrial National Park
