BAWBAWON ISLAND
đź“ŤPlaridel, Misamis Occidental
Located less than a kilometer off the coast of Plaridel in Misamis Occidental, Bawbawon Island’s incredible white sand and clear waters, framed with evergreen, offer a cinematic view for travelers seeking that seaside solace. The island gets its name from the local term “bawbawon” or “baobaoan,” which means “shallow” because of the shallow water that surrounds it. It is approximately 200 meters off a stunning coral reef on one side and near lush mangrove forests on the other. A dazzling array of wild bushes and coconut trees also shrouded the island.
HOW TO GET THERE:
Ride a bus to Plaridel/Dipolog from the Ozamiz Integrated City Bus and Jeepney Terminal and tell the driver to drop you off at the intersection road, Bawbawon. You take a single motorcycle (habal-habal) from the highway to the seaport. From there, you take a boat to Bawbawon.
