Camotes Island as we all know hales the best white sand beaches in the province of Cebu. It is a go-to place during summer and even on rainy days. The island has been our adoptive home and we have been visiting this amazing island since 2010. Today, let me share with you the beautiful beaches of Camotes Island and what makes them unique from one another.

Bakhaw Beach Location: Esperanza, San Francisco, Camotes Island

Bakhaw Beach is a new favorite of babe and I. The beach is still secluded from tourist. There are few residential houses in the area yet it is still free from commercial activities. Basic facilities include nipa hut cottages and a small convenience store that offers basic supply of food and beverages. Going to the beach you have to pass through a newly mound dirt road with 5.00 php entrance fee. Bakhaw Beach features a long stretch of white sand and clear blue waters. The seashore is not shallow unlike Santiago Beach so you can immediately enjoy swimming few meters from the shore.

Tulang Diot Location: Esperanza, San Francisco, Pajican Island, Camotes

Tulang is an islet divided by the locals into two places; Tulang Diot and Tulang Dako. Tulang Dako is part of mainland San Francisco, while Tulang Diot is an islet of Tulang. Getting to Tulang Diot you have to go to Tulang Dako and ride on an outrigger boat with a fare of 10.00php per person if the boat is full. But if you are alone or you are just a couple then you have to pay for the entire boat which is 100.00php per trip. The islet has a limited basic amenities including nipa hut cottages, table and chairs for rent, and a small convenience store. Tulang Diot has a white sand beach that can compete with other beaches in Camotes Island. What makes this little paradise special is it has a sandbar that appears during low tide and submerged during high tide. Perimeter ropes are available to keep the swimmers out from the heavy rip current.

Buho Rock Resort Location: Poro, Camotes Island

A unique beach resort in Camotes is Buho Rock Resort. Unlike the common white sand beach, Buho Rock as its name entails is a coral rock shaped like a small ship docked at a port. The place is very famous for cliff diving. If you are not faint-hearted then this place is for you. There are two diving spots one is 8ft and the other is 14ft so keep that courage and jump off. To enjoy more the place and to take a closer look at the deep blue sea and the cliff you have to go down a steep winding stair. A little tiring but rewarding when you watch those people relieving their stress by jumping off the cliff.

Santiago White Beach Location: Santiago, San Francisco, Camotes Island

Santiago White Beach is the most famous beach in Camotes Island. Its long and wide stretch of white sand beach makes the place lovely. The beach is perfect for families especially with kids because the water is shallow. Santiago White Beach is the most famous beach in Camotes Island.
