Philippines Travel Blog

Hi, i took the original photo of the White Island sandbar at the top of this blog. I do love Camiguin, i've visited the place several times already, something in the name i guess, hehe. But, on a serious note, Camiguin's in danger of losing it's identity and what's made it so beautiful in the first place. My first visit to White Island was when i was a teenager, it was just the sandbar on it own, and it was the most awe inspiring thing i ever saw in my life back then, but now it's covered in nipa huts which i think takes away from it's "natural beauty". Ardent Springs is becoming like that also, the owners developing the area around it, how long until the trees surrounding the springs start to disappear more? Camiguin still holds some beauty for me still, but the day it turns into another Boracay, it's beauty will be forever gone.

Very nice picture...

Hi Zoids, thank you. Good for you to promote Camiguin. By now, the Lanzones festival is fast approaching I think! Do you operate a travel and tour company? Anyway, thanks for visiting.

yes, lanzones festival will be next week. I'm planning to make an online booking website for camiguin but it's not yet done so i just utilize my domain for a blog.

That is the true beauty of nature and we should keep it like that. We should not try and change things around us which are not meant to be changed. Some things are just there to be felt and savoured.

I heard nothing but great things about Camiguin. Philippines is blessed with many beautiful spots and I hope people will preserve its beauty.

try visit www.boracayflights.ph to gain more bora experience out there!!!....Have a nice day!!!...

Hi Kate! Thanks for this site. I sooo love Bora!

I just went there with my GF last February. Although, our stay was very short, this short strip of white sand captivated both of us. Hope it remains as natural as it is now.

Is this place near the sunken cemetery? Or I am confused about the sunken cemetery being in Camiguin also. Let's hope it won't be invaded by the civilized people or else it will lose its virginity.

Hi Ed, not really sure. lol.

sunken cemetery is south of white island so not so nearby

Let it remain to be undeveloped. Great pic! Great beach! Great post!

white island can not be developed because it's a large and forever changing sand bar no services like water or electricity can be provided. It will always remain natural.

Thanks Mike. I'm pretty sure it will remain undeveloped. :)

If I could be on that beach at this moment it would be a dream come true for me, I love the beauty of it, the clean water white sands, I know it would talk to my soul if I was walking there

I'm sure it would frostygirl. Do visit it!

wow, that's a fantastic place, it's good to be there :)

It is indeed fantastic!

Looks like an absolute paradise...

Ganda! I hope someday we can visit Camiguin. I heard so much about it. :D

Yes, I was there, too, more than two decades ago. I wonder how it looks right now. I'd love to savour again nature's blessed gift to the Filipino people, the Camiguingnons most especially. I hope no one desecrates its virginal paradise.

wow, paradise! this is in camigiun? good thing with this place is it that its still untouched, unlike that of boracay. i would rather choose this place than that of boracay for me not to die of suffocation, stampede or even chloroform infection, ehehe!

Really nice to see your blog. Also visit my blog

Such a paradise island! You know, we once were on our way to the Philippines and of course Boracay were included in our plans. First Malaysia 2 weeks and then Mindoro and Boracay + some roundtrips. What happened?

This was Jan 2005, The Tsunami did hit Malaysia were we should stay AND we both got pneumonia (what's the odds of that happening?) so we sadly had to cancel in last minute. It took us half a year to recover and then we went to South America in the autumn instead.

We have since then been tempted to make another try, but something else is always coming up for some strange reason.

Well, maybe some day - and then I'll remember the white island, so thx for the tip!

Camiguin is on my list of places to visit in the Philippines... hope it will be soon. :)

Very well said . That is the true beauty of nature and we should keep it like that. We should not try and change things around us which are not meant to be changed. Some things are just there to be felt and savoured.
