Enjoying Camiguin Sandbar

Day 2
June 14, 2015
Camiguin

The night before, we discussed whether to wake up early to see the sunrise in White Island or just get a restful uninterrupted sleep. We decided to catch up on lost sleep which was actually a good decision since it rained quite hard in the morning.

We finally were able to leave the hotel at noon and decided to eat at a nearby restaurant - La Isla Cocina. I ordered tuna salad which I did not like at all - it was like they combined whatever ingredients were available and called it a dish. I liked the cucumber iced tea though.

Seafood pasta (180 PHP), tuna salad (160 PHP), cucumber iced tea (60 PHP)

We then rented a boat for 450 PHP to get the three of us to the famed White Island sandbar. Once there, we rented a beach umbrella for 100 PHP to avoid getting roasted under the scorching hot sun.

White Island was very different from the other sandbars I have seen - by far, this is the longest and widest stretch of white sand. It is a great place to loosen up or rest or read a book, as long as you are under the rented umbrella. It is also a perfect spot to catch the sunset.
