About an hour's boat ride from Santa Fe in Bantayan, this tropical islet is a popular (perhaps too popular) day trip. The white-sand beach is gorgeous and swimming is great but beware the overpriced restaurant and steep entrance fees. Most locals bring their own picnics and drinks. There's some snorkelling and gear is available for P200 per day.
