Calaguas Islands
An endless stretch of white sand combined with the ever-changing colors of the crystal-clear waters make this island look like a slice of paradise. No, it isn’t Boracay -- we’re talking about Bicol’s Calaguas Islands.
If you’re looking for a place that looks like Boracay without the overwhelming number of tourists and commercial areas, the place to go is the Calaguas Islands, an off-the-beaten-path destination for anyone who wants to relax and enjoy nature’s beauty. Aside from getting tanned and soaking in the beach, you can also try climbing the nearby hills, take endless postcard shots, or spend the day meditating, taking in the fresh air as the water and sand effortlessly settle beneath your toes.
