The forested island of Capul, west of Dalupiri, has a delightfully easygoing pace of life. It was a galleon staging post during Spanish days – the name probably comes from Acapulco, where the ships were headed – and has a lighthouse and ruined fort, which you can just glimpse upon arrival, where sentries once combed the horizon for Moro pirates. There's only electricity from 4pm till midnight.
