Our list of must-visit tourist spots in Camiguin, Philippines – one of the best islands to explore in Mindanao.
An island province about 714 kilometers south of Manila and 120 kilometers southeast of Cebu, Camiguin is a pear-shaped volcanic Island filled with natural wonders from white sand beaches, majestic waterfalls, and relaxing hot and cold springs. Here are the top tourist spots in Camiguin:
White Island
White Island is an uninhabited white sandbar located about 1.4 kilometers off the northern shore of the capital town of Mambajao. There is no vegetation of any kind in the area so it is the best time to go there early in the morning or late in the afternoon as it gets too hot when the sun is up.
