Calaguas Island!

The Calaguas is a group of islands in the Philippine province of Camarines Norte. It includes the following islands:

          Major
               Tinaga Island
               Guintinua Island
          Minor
               Maculabo Island

and several other minor islands.

Most of the islands are under the administrative jurisdiction of Vinzons, Camarines Norte while the minor island of Maculabo is under the jurisdiction of the municipality of Paracale, Camarines Norte. Recently, the island of Tinaga where the famous long beach called Mahabang Buhangin is located is experiencing influx of tourists in the area despite the absence of accommodation. Campers and backpackers are coming and going daily to experience its powdery white sands.

Calaguas Island

We had an almost 2 hours boat ride from the city before reaching the Calaguas Island..

But that long ride has been paid off by the time we reached the island. It was so beautiful! The water is sooo crystal clear. It was like your looking under a white tiled swimming pool.

This place is so perfect for relaxing after several days of stress at work. Unfortunately, our celphone signals were all dead. It is too far to grasp some network.

Maculabo Island

is an island which belongs to the Calaguas group of islands in Camarines Norte province. Although part of the Calaguas group, the island is under the jurisdiction of the municipality of Paracale, Camarines Norte. The island serves as a major stop-over going to Tinaga Island where the famous long beach "Mahabang Buhangin" is located. The island is about four kilometers long.

After our trip at Calaguas Island, we had a small time to visit this very clean, peaceful and wonderful Maculabo Island since it is just near the Calaguas Island.

I'm missing this place so much. Hope I could go back here. :)
