1. 1. Maritime Transport: Contact the ferry companies that operate routes to Tabarca from Santa Pola, Alicante or Torrevieja. Ask about their policies regarding bringing dogs. Some companies allow pets on board, but may have restrictions on dog size or require them to travel in designated areas.
   2. Accommodation in Tabarca: If you plan to spend the night on the island, make sure your hotel or accommodation is pet friendly. Not all establishments accept dogs, so it is important to confirm this in advance.
