Are you looking for a beach destination in Mindanao? One of the places to consider going to is Camiguin. It has an idyllic ambiance, laid-back vibe, white sand beaches, and natural attractions. This island off the coast of Northern Mindanao is accessible by public boat.

The island province has a bit of everything for tourists who have varying tastes in the things they like to do during their vacation. One of the biggest draws of Camiguin is White Island. This is a stretch of white sand in the middle of cerulean waters. Wade or swim in the clear waters and rest and unwind while getting a tan on the shore. If the sky is clear, you’ll get beautiful views of Mt. Hibok-Hibok in the distance.

If you have the time and energy, you can take on the challenge of climbing Mt. Hibok-Hibok. It rises to more than 1300m and is quite challenging. However, the views of the surroundings will be your reward once you reach the summit.

Mantigue Island is another noteworthy addition to your itinerary. The island may not be as popular as White Island, but it can still hold its own. You can wade in the waters or lie on the beach or go snorkeling to explore its rich underwater ecosystem. Katibawasan Falls is a good place to douse the heat of the summer and refresh your body. It is also a picturesque destination that you can’t help but take pictures of the beautiful scenery. If you visit the province at the right season, you can participate in the festivities of the Lanzones Festival. There’ll be dancing and parades to celebrate the harvest.

Camiguin may not be as big as other more popular beach destinations, but it has accommodations for different types of travelers. You can find a comfortable place to stay after exploring what the island has to offer. Here are the top resorts in Camiguin recommended by Agoda users, in no particular order.
