Calaguas Island A Hidden Paradise in Bicol

Calaguas - is a group of islands composed of Tinaga Island (Major), Guintina Island (Major), Maculabo Island (Minor) and other minor island.

The Mahabang Buhangin is located at Tinaga Island where tourist are amaze by the beauty of the powdery white sand and the clear waters surrounding it.

After a long year of being away from the Philippines, my friends and I decided to reunite and have a relaxing day at Calaguas. Each of us contributed for the food and the boat that we will be using. The cost of renting a boat is 7k and its capacity is 20 to 25 people. We were just 6 in our barkada but luckily my friend Francis Kevin invited some of his friends from Manila and that lessened our contribution for the transportation

Once you're near the island you'll see the bluish clear water, you'll be entice to dive in the water! Just Be careful because the water is too deep so wait for the boat to be near shore.

Spend your summer vacation in Calaguas.

On the right side of the island, there is this rocky part. This is the the spot where you can get signal. Bring plenty of patience if you plan to txt someone.

This is us having fun with the camera while our friend covered in sand.

I suggest that you bring sun glass and your own tent. You need the sun glass to protect the eyes during noon because the sun rays reflect to the sands causing you eye to get burned by the light. There is no commercial establishment that offers any accommodation that's why you need to bring tents.

You can see to the photos how clear the water is.

 We are just having fun! We take plenty of jump shots this is the one I like.

We are going home! A group picture of my newly found friends. I don't who they are but they become a friend of mine in one day and a half.
