Cabrera National ParkAbout Cabrera National Park
Cabrera National Park is a maritime-terrestrial national park covering the island of Cabrera and its adjacent marine area in the Balearic Islands of Spain. The designation protects both the island’s terrestrial habitats and surrounding marine ecosystems.
Visiting is normally organised by boat from Mallorca, with regulated landings and controlled visitor numbers to conserve nesting birds, maritime life and sensitive habitats. The park is valued for its marine biodiversity, seabird colonies and relatively undisturbed landforms.
Established to protect the archipelago and its waters, park management focuses on limiting visitor impact and conserving marine and terrestrial species and habitats. Access rules and guided visits are used to balance conservation with public access.
Cabrera lies to the south of the island of Mallorca in the western Mediterranean and is reached by sea from ports on Mallorca; the surrounding seascape is characteristic of the Balearic maritime environment.
- Marine and island protection: The park protects an island archipelago and surrounding marine waters and is accessible mainly by boat from Mallorca, with visitor restrictions to protect wildlife and habitats.
