Baigad Lagoon Beach
About
Bantayan's newest wow spot! A short boat hop takes you to a lagoon of glassy, mint-green water wrapped in mangroves, with white sandbars curling through it like ribbons. Wade across the shallows, paddle a kayak along the mangrove channels, swing in a hammock under the trees, then look down from above and see those swirls of turquoise and sand. Go at mid to high tide for the most colour!
Dry until sunset (5:25 PM). Good time to go!
