Sibay Island, Island in Antique, Philippines
Sibay Island is an island off the coast of Antique that rises approximately 48 meters above sea level and features white sand beaches along its shores near the Tablas Strait. The coastline is marked by these pale beaches that line the water's edge.
Settlement on the island began with Laking Landos, whose remains are kept in a cave near Bacong Beach on the northern shore. This early presence marks the start of human history on the island.
The Janairo Heritage House preserves local history through photographs and objects that show the island's connection to the Aguinaldo family. Visitors walking through can trace this heritage.
Boats from Caluya Island transport visitors directly to the beaches, as the island has no pier or dock facility. Check weather conditions before your visit and allow time for the boat journey.
The island has mangrove plantations where wild monkeys roam, and elevated rocky points offering views across to Panay, Boracay, and Mindoro islands. This blend of natural habitat and viewpoints sets it apart.
