About this spot
A rustic island beach on Maricaban Island, reached by boat from Anilao. The sand is pale cream rather than powdery white, but the water is strikingly clear and turquoise, with coral and fish just a few steps from shore. Facilities are simple, with homestays and camping, which keeps the vibe laid-back. Great for barkadas wanting a budget island trip close to Manila.
