White Island
Some details on this page have not yet been independently confirmed. Please confirm them directly with White Island before you go.
Why it ranks
Uninhabited white sandbar off Mambajao with views back to Camiguin's volcanoes, visited by short outrigger hops from the Agoho–Yumbing beach strip.
Don't miss: Boat out at sunrise and photograph Mt Hibok-Hibok from the sandbar.
Best for: Early risers who want sunrise on a sandbar and a swim before the heat.
Good to know: There is no shade or water on the sandbar; go at sunrise, bring sun protection, and agree a pick-up time with the boatman. The bar shrinks at high tide.
