Taguines Lagoon, a short distance from Benoni Port, is an artificial inland lagoon designed for fish propagation. If you’re looking for a delightful lunch spot, this is an excellent choice. Here, you can engage in your own fishing adventure and hand over your catch to their skilled chef, who will expertly prepare a delectable meal for you. The lagoon also offers cozy cottages for your convenience and relaxation.

Just a few meters from Benoni Port, Camiguin’s famed Katunggan Mangrove Park sits like a secret, enchanting forest. Home to a large host of mangroves, some of which are now 100 to 200 years old, the Katunggan Mangrove Park is perfect for a day of picnicking or simply admiring the unique charm of the mangrove trees while walking on their wooden bridges. Visitors may also volunteer to help plant mangroves. Everyone is given a chance to contribute since mangrove trees provide protection against typhoons and big waves and a habitat for various species of fish, shrimp, crabs, and even birds in the vicinity.

The Moro Watch Tower lies on one of the beaches in the Municipality of Guinsiliban, near the Guinsiliban Pier. The tower is ancient and was used as a lookout to warn the residents of the approaching Muslim marauders, who frequently come to inflict significant damage. Women and children sought refuge in the watchtower as the men battled the pirates. Only a small portion is now left because the majority of its parts were destroyed to make way for the school surrounding the relic.

Santo Rosario Church, also known as Our Lady of Holy Rosary Church, is a simple yet splendid century-old church. Stepping inside the church will give you a glimpse of the town’s past and the role it played in history. Like most old churches, Santo Rosario Church was built in 1882 using coral stones and underwent some renovations to strengthen the new structure. It is commonly referred to as the “Green Church” because the materials used in its renovations and furnishings reflect the church designers’ ingenuity and care for the environment. Driftwood chandeliers, the sawali (woven bamboo skin) walls, the ornamental plants at the entrance, bamboo columns, and other local materials will welcome you upon entering the church.
