Shell
Island - The island is broken in half so you can
watch the azure waves crash gently; break into silver sprays
and race towards the tide pool. Or turn your attention in
studying the ingenious limestone rock formations that make
up the island. Or, maybe, just watch the flight of birds as
you hide away from the sun and take refuge from their shade.
But don`t miss the chance to lose yourself in collecting shells
hidden or lying either on the shore or silently glistening
under the shallow waters. The area is also subjected to flooding
during high tide hence the common sightings of small reef
fishes.
Devils Island - Once named
Cagao Island and is now named after former President Macapagal,
it is still often called by many locals as Devil`s island.
It has a nice beach with a morning shade. But this seemingly
simple and relaxing hideaway offers more than an undisturbed
picnic and skinny-dipping time. Each diving spot in the Park
is uniquely beautiful and interesting; with the gliding sea
creatures and magnificent corals ready to greet you. But Devil`s
Island by far doubles this stunning exquisiteness with its
remarkable diving sites, a true haven,especially for those
who want to explore some underwater magic.
Sison Island - Nature photographers
or even one who just stuffs his/her travel photo albums, can
quench the thirst for a picture quest with the visible coral
reefs nearing the foreshore are, as well as awe-inspiring
views from the island`s view areas. Thrill-seekers can choose
their kind of fun – trekking, snorkeling or diving.
And day or night, the swimming experience is simply amazing,
with fine white sand to lie back on after a dip.
Milagrosa Island - Located
at the southernmost part of the Hundred Islands National Park
(HINP), it has a cave that is accessible only during lowtide
and the formation of stalactites and stalgamites are most
defined and evident. Swim or kayak your way into the cave
and indulge yourself in the cooling atmosphere that it exudes.
Scout Island - Situated
just pass Marcos Island, on the southern part of the Park,
guests can treat themselves to an extraordinary underwater
experience, plunging in the island`s diving spot and slithering
smoothly alongside marine wonders residing in the offshore
reefs. After that, a lounger in the island`s fine-sanded beach
should relax adventure-worn muscles.
Old Scout - Located near
Quezon Island, its white sand beach is ideal for sunbathing.
Not up for lounging and spreading suntain oil on your back?
Bring on your diving gear and while away the hour beneath
its azure waters or opt to kayak your way around it.
Romulo Island - Located
near Braganza Island, its perfect for island-to-island activities.
It has good white sand beach where one can take advantage
of the sun and the breeze, with a little surprise at low tide.
Its morning rock shade becomes a small cave once the tide
drops. You can take a little dip or just simply stun your
pals by striking model-like pose in the cave.
Monkey Island - So named
because of the sightings of monkeys in the area.Located in
the northern part of the Hundred Islands National Park (HINP),
backing Century Island, it offers impressive sites for island
adventure, kayaking and great spots for swimming, which more
than makes up its lack of beachfront. And yes, a chance to
capture a glimpse of the otherwise shy monkeys in the area.
