Kalanggaman Island Beach, White sand beach in Palompon, Philippines.
The 753-meter-long island features a natural sandbar extending into clear waters, with coconut trees dotting the shoreline and coral reefs beneath the surface.
In November 2013, Tropical Storm Haiyan altered the geography of Kalanggaman Island by washing away one of its two distinctive sandbars.
Local fishermen named the island Kalanggaman, meaning bird in their dialect, due to its shape when viewed from above with sandbars on both sides.
Visitors must arrange transportation through the Palompon Tourism Office, with a 40-minute boat ride required to reach the island from the mainland.
The island maintains strict capacity limits of 500 daily visitors to protect its natural environment and ensure water conservation.
