The waters surrounding the island have been officially declared a Mediterranean marine nature reserve. The reserve is considered a prime example of virtually undamaged Mediterranean marine life, given the excellent quality of its waters and the biodiversity of its fauna and flora.
The beach patrol and lifeguard services are operational during Easter and between the 1st July and the 15th September. Beach facilities include access for the handicapped, toilets, foot showers, a tourist information point during the summer season and a Civil Defence post.
Surrounded by crystalline waters, offering the tranquillity of a fishing village and the opportunity to enjoy a splendid seafood cuisine, the island can be easily reached by boat from Alicante.

Beneath the waters, around the small coves, lies an abundance of marine life making snorkelling and scuba diving a great pleasure.
There are various departures daily in summer and at weekends during the rest of the year, from the Marina opposite the Explanada de Espaņa. Only takes 45 minutes to reach the island.
