Camiguin's Amazing White Island - Philippines 2019
It's been eleven (11) years since I stepped onto this magical island!
We actually hired the same guy (cousin of my brother-in-law's sister's husband) that gave us a ride to the island eleven years ago!
We spent about two hours on the soft white sand, and explored the whole sandbar. It was just as beautiful as I remembered it. I haven't been to a lot of places like this in the Philippines, but it is definitely my favorite place so far.
There were about a dozen or so total people on White Island when we visited this time, and it was even at the beginning of the Lanzones Festival, which draws many visitors each year. Try to go early in the morning, as when the sun reaches it's peak it gets hot out there! Bring sunscreen!
The water surrounding White Island is so clear, and the water temperature is around 70°+ degrees Fahrenheit (21° C). The sand is powdery, and easy on the feet. I suggest water socks, but it's totally up to you! Make sure you bring a camera and your cell phone as there are many Instagramable and Facebook photos to be taken!
White Island is an uninhabited white sandbar located about 1.4 kilometres off the northern shore of Mambajao in the volcanic island of Camiguin in the Philippines. The island is generally horseshoe shaped, although the tides constantly resize and reshape its exact form. (Wikipedia)
