Kalanggaman Island
An uninhabited island with long white sandbars reaching out from both ends, shaped like a bird in flight when seen from the air, and a popular island-hopping day trip.
Kalanggaman Island belongs to Palompon in Leyte Province and lies about 30 km from Malapascua. A long, thin white sandbar extends from each end of the island. The seawater shifts from blue to turquoise, and the coral around the island is good for snorkeling. No one lives on the island, which has only picnic shelters and basic toilets, so visitors must bring their own food and drinking water. Landing requires an environmental fee and compliance with visitor limits. A chartered boat from Malapascua takes about 1.5 hours one way, usually departing early in the morning and returning in the afternoon. Trips are canceled if sea conditions are rough.
