White Island

Reviewed By sortav88 - Pagadian City, Philippines

The White Island is one of the go-to-place if you are in Camiguin. It is composed of two small white island and the water is cool and soothing. It is best to go there early in the morning as the crowd tends to grow fast. Bring small bills if you want to rent a beach umbrella (200PhP) or sample the raw (fresh) sea urchins being peddled around (3 for 100PhP) . There's no permanent structure on the island as they become completely submerged at high tide. Overall, our experience was pleasant and enjoyable. You must try it!

Tinago Falls

Reviewed By 122wolfgangb - Germany, null

Tinago Falls are a bit - as the name says - hidden and you have to climb the 2 year old stair cases down. However standing in front of the falls reimburses the walk. There is a small lake to swim with the waterfalls in the front. You can ride a bamboo boat directly into the waterfalls and climb the rocks to jump from inside the waterfalls to the lake. Around the lake you can find small shops with beverages (also beer) and snacks. A nice relaxing experience.

Great Santa Cruz Island

Reviewed By 131ma1 - Zamboanga City, Philippines

Sta. Cruz island is about 20 minutes boat ride away from Zamboanga City. The beach has pink sands although the swimming area gets rocky just a few meters from the shore. Paddling to the Lagoon sanctuary is very interesting, where many aquatic organisms are protected. Overall, its a nice beach!
