Seen from a distance, the misshapen, peculiar shape of Cabugao Gamay Island intrigues the curious traveller, and upon closer look, the small islet is discovered to be a natural tropical paradise complete with lush vegetation, gorgeous sandy beaches, and emerald green waters. This small and remote island off the coast of Isla de Gigantes in the Visayan sea is part of the more than 7,000 islands that make up the Philippines, and remains as one of the most unexplored, unspoiled islands of the region.

Undoubtedly, the defining feature of this lovely island is the gorgeous white sandbar located at the northern tip of the island, and the interesting rock formation found at the end of the sandbar at Cabugao Gamay. Both make for a pretty picture against the sparkling emerald green waters that surround the serene island, often cited as one of the most picturesque places for photography in the Philippines. Easily accessible via a 20 to 30-minute boat ride from the port of Brgy, the Cabugao Gamay Island is also often included in island hopping tours as a popular tourist attraction due to its unsullied, natural beauty.
