White Island
A crescent-shaped white sandbar in the sea, with Hibok-Hibok volcano rising behind it. It is Camiguin's signature sight.
White Island is an uninhabited white sandbar about 1.5 km off the coast of Mambajao, Agoho, and Yumbing. Its shape changes with the tides, and the surrounding water is clear enough for snorkeling. There are no trees or facilities on the island, only rented sun umbrellas. You need to register at the pier in Agoho or Yumbing, pay the environmental fee, and charter a boat for the round trip (about 500 pesos per boat, with a crossing of about 10 to 15 minutes). For the best light on the volcano, set out between 6 and 9 a.m. Bring plenty of water, sun protection, and reef-safe sunscreen.
