About this spot
A tiny, LGU-owned island about 10 km off Palompon, famous for its long, curving white sandbars that stretch into turquoise water on both ends. At low tide you can walk far out on the northern sandbar with water barely at your ankles. There are picnic huts and restrooms but no hotels, which keeps it pristine. Bring food and water, snorkel the reefs, and expect one of the most beautiful beach days of your life.
