Britania Group of Islands
About
Mindanao's island-hopping gem! Britania is a group of 24 islets with white sandbars scattered across Lianga Bay off San Agustin, Surigao del Sur, facing the Philippine Sea. Hop to Hiyor-Hiyoran with its palm-lined white beach, then Boslon for turquoise water framed by rocky cliffs, with plenty of stops for swimming and snorkeling. It is far less crowded than the big-name beaches, so expect quiet shores and local-run boats. Pair it with Enchanted River in Hinatuan and Tinuy-an Falls in Bislig for a Surigao del Sur loop. Bring food, water and cash, use reef-safe sunscreen, and leave in the morning while the sea is calm.
