Cabrera archipelago national park snorkeling — Balearics

The site itself, where it sits, and what to know before you plan a snorkel around it. We describe it accurately — access and conditions are verified locally, on the day.

A protected no-take marine park of islets and bays with unusually rich fish life and clear water — reached by licensed boat from Mallorca and generally quiet.

Where it sits
South of Mallorca
Site type
Marine reserve

This is one of the key sites on Balearics, which sits at #10 on our ranked catalog. Protected coves, clear shallows and posidonia meadows around Mallorca, Menorca and Ibiza.

Park regulations restrict anchoring — join a permitted tour.

Pair it with Illes Malgrats marine reserve off Calvia in south-west Mallorca if you want protected rocky-reef fish life on a shorter boat trip from the popular side of the island — healthy reef fish in clear water, without the full-day crossing. Cabrera's own note applies either way: park regulations restrict anchoring, so join a permitted tour.
