San Victor Island
About
A tiny tropical island with a powdery white tail of sand, just a few minutes off the Baganga coast! From above, San Victor looks like a green teardrop ringed by turquoise reef. On the ground it's soft sand, shady trees, clear shallows and cottages for a lazy picnic. The boat ride takes under ten minutes, so it slots right into a Davao Oriental road trip!
Go before 5 PM today. Rain likely after.
