Off the coast of Mauban Quezon, Cagbalete Island, a literal overnight sensation -- it's a secluded paradise that awaits everyone.
It's an ultimate barkada getaway with almost 6 hours travel time away from Manila. If you're into a pampering kind of vacation this place is quite not for you - as it is being a virgin island the resort uses generators at 5pm-6am daily.
The island has creamy white sand, warm and clear water, plus a relaxing and intoxicating ambiance - and the best part well, kind of - when it's low tide, sand ripples appear on the shoreline.
Cagbalete Island is a good place to relax and rejuvenate, with a scenic and breathtaking view of sunrise and sunset, just a quiet and peaceful time away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
More sand, no water. Low tide it is.
