Shimizu Island
The lunch stop on Island Hopping Tour A, with small white-sand bays beneath limestone cliffs and coral reefs, where snorkeling reveals schools of tropical fish.
Shimizu Island is a small limestone island beside Miniloc Island. It is named after Shimizu, a Japanese diver who died nearby during WWII. Two small white-sand bays on the island serve as the lunch and snorkeling stops for Tour A. The reef flats often host parrotfish, clownfish and giant clams. The tour fee already includes the stop, so no extra payment is needed. Midday brings many boats and visitors. If you want uncrowded landscape photos, consider chartering a boat to visit at a quieter time. Watch for boat traffic when snorkeling.
