The Cabrera National Park (Spanish: Parque Nacional Marítimo-Terrestre del Archipiélago de Cabrera) is a National Park that includes the whole Cabrera Archipelago in the Balearic Islands, Spain. The park covers 100 km² (13 km² land) but attracts few visitors due to its remoteness. There is no permanent population, but there might be at any given time under 100 National Park staff members and other personnel.
Cabrera National Park is a restricted cruising destination, and boats may anchor only in the island's natural harbor. Many species survive on Cabrera that are rare around the Balearics, such as dolphins and sea snails. Diving is strictly limited and a license allows for a one day visit only. Excursions to the island are a rare event and are treasured by the diving community. Hiking is available, and there is a tourist information office, a museum, and a 14th-century castle as well as a gift shop and café.
