Calaguas Island

The Calaguas group of islands are located in Camarines Norte, Bicol Region. It includes the major islands of Tinaga, Guintinua, Mahabang Buhangin and Maculabo Island, as well as several minor islands. It is a two hour boat ride from Vinzons port.

Due to the influx of tourists, it has become one of the most popular tourists spot for backpackers which is tagged as the “Paradise”.  It is composed of long stretched of powdery white sand beaches, crystal-clear turquoise waters, unspoiled natural resources, rock formations on it's end which truly creates a picturesque sight to behold; making it worthy for every adventure seeker's bucketlist.

Calaguas is still undeveloped, there are no hotels or fancy resorts, but there are makeshift cottages and one can also rent and pitch a tent if one wishes to stay overnight.
