Carnaza Island
About
Cebu's far-north island for people who like it quiet! Carnaza, off Daanbantayan, has turquoise coves, white beaches and rugged cliffs. Swim and cliff-jump at Liog-Liog Cove, peek into the legend-filled Skull Cove, beach-hop to Candionesio and Linao, then camp under a sky full of stars. Getting there takes a long bus ride and a boat, and that's exactly why it stays this unspoiled.
Dry until sunset (5:23 PM). Good time to go!
