White Island, Sand formation in Camiguin, Philippines
White Island is a sandbar extending roughly 700 meters into the Bohol Sea off Camiguin's northern coast, composed entirely of white sand. The surrounding waters shift between blue and green tones, creating a striking contrast with the pale shore.
This sandbar is a natural formation shaped by the Bohol Sea's ocean currents and winds, meaning it changes shape across seasons. The shifting form reflects how water movement and weather continuously reshape this place.
Local fishermen from nearby villages use their boats to transport visitors, weaving tourism into their daily maritime work. This connection to the sea shapes how people here spend their time and earn their living.
Boats depart from Yumbing port and take roughly 15 to 30 minutes depending on sea conditions, with rides available throughout daylight hours. Visit during low tide when more sand is exposed and the water becomes shallower around the bar.
From this sandbar, you can see both Mount Hibok-Hibok and Mount Vulcan rising behind the sea from across the water. This view from the water gives you a rare angle on the island's volcanic landscape.
