About this spot
A remote island group off northern Iloilo, famous for cheap, unlimited scallops and island hopping among dramatic limestone islets. Climb the viewpoint on Cabugao Gamay for its iconic shot of a sandbar-linked island, swim in the Tangke saltwater lagoon, and walk white-sand bars at Antonia Beach. It's a long trip, so plan to overnight. Worth it for barkadas who love seafood and adventure.
