White Sand Beaches: Where to go in the Philippines
5. Caramoan Islands, a Survivor hotspot
Caramoan in Camarines Sur has always been a favorite site of the Survivor franchise. It hosted the US, France, Israel, India, Sweden, Bulgaria, Serbia, and lot more international versions of the popular reality show. I wonder why Survivor keeps on coming. I guess, there is always beauty in a moment of seclusion.
Sabitang Laya, Matukad Beach, Tayak Island, Gota Village, Omang Cave, and Hunongan Cove are just few of the places to visit while in Caramoan.
Daily flights from Manila to Naga City, Camarines Sur are available. From Naga City, you can take a van to reach Caramoan.
Great summary of some of the best beaches the Phils has to offer. And I can’t say which is my fave. I loved Bora, but it’s ultra touristy feeling takes away from it a bit compared with, say, Panglao Island off Bohol. You should also check out Malapascua Island. It was gorgeous before Yolanda — not sure how they’re doing there now, but I’m sure the beauty is unchanged. And it’s tough to get to, so it keeps the package tourists away, which is always a bonus. And you’ve reminded me that I still need to get my butt up to Ilocos Norte to Pagudpud. So thanks for that!
Thanks, Sir Mike! I believe Malapascua was partly devastated during the typhoon. Hope they’re doing well now. I suggest you to see Calaguas at least once while it is still not highly commercialized – that if, you’re fine with sleeping in a camp (tent).
for me El Nido is the MOST BEAUTIFUL of them all ! ;D
