About this spot
A 24-hectare coral island just off Oslob, home of the country's first marine sanctuary (protected since 1974). Its famous white sandbar shifts shape with the tides and seasons, set against impossibly clear water. Most people pair it with the whale sharks in the morning. Day visits are possible through the island resort or via local boats to the sandbar.
