Much have been said about this tourist spot considering that it’s one of the favorites of the Neo students. I’ve been in this island twice. The first was on the year 2011 (March I think) together with my Korean and Japanese friends while the second was just recently with my college best friends. Though the travel going there can be onerous since it is situated in the northeastern part of Iloilo and it takes about 3 hours to travel by bus from the city, the trip was really worth it. One can say that the island really epitomizes how beautiful the Philippines is.
The island prides itself for its white sand, clear blue waters, and its renowned long shifting sand bar.
It also offers a picturesque view of the neighboring islands including the great Mt. Manaphag in Pan de Azucar island.
Visitors and tourists can enjoy water activities such as swimming, snorkeling, fishing and island hopping.
They also have picnic areas good for 10 or more people.
When our group arrived there, we wasted no time. The love for picture taking is our common interest so we immediately got our cameras ready.
The sandbar is so inviting so we instantly waded through it even though the sun was scorching hot. Wading through the sandbar during high tide makes you feel like walking in the middle of the sea.
Nap is such a luxury for us so taking a nap in a hammock while enjoying the fresh sea air is so indulging.. Idle moments never feel this good..
Exploring the back part of the island is a must-do for first timers. One can find marvelous rock formations which can be challenging to climb but enables you to have a clear view of the open sea. I tried it before with my students and this time, I wanna share the same experience with my friends.
Going around the whole island is such a great accomplishment considering the difficulty of climbing these big boulders. we survived the trek, but my 2 pair of slippers didn’t. I had to buy a new pair in Concepcion market when we went home.
Giant clams are grown here by the beach owner. (This picture is quite a great moment captured by Aki’s good reflex. hehehehe) They make sure that the clams are in a suitable environment. As seen in the pic, corals already formed on the clam’s shell.
Beautiful coral formations can be seen on the clear waters during the early morning low tide. We waded about half a mile while enjoying the early morning sunshine.
They only have 3 cottages so they can only accommodate few visitors…which means spending a night there is so peaceful. All you can hear is the calming sound of the waves.
I’ve been here twice and I’m still open to the idea of going here again in the near future.
