Animasola Island (Burias)

Animasola Island is part of the Burias group of islands which is located in Masbate of the Bicol Region. It is considered among the most popular islands in Burias and was named as "Animasola" which means "lonely soul" in Latin which pertains to those souls that are in Purgatory, but for the tourists who visited the place it's all amazement for the wondrous work of art that nature has to offer.

It is composed of stunning rock formations through a number of geological periods which is truly a nature's picturesque masterpiece. Some experts says that the rocks are actually corals and were formed by the incessant lapping of tidal waves against the shore through the centuries and is commonly was compared to "Kapurpurawan" rock formations of Ilocos Norte.

According to my sister's account there is also a small pool/lagoon where one can cool swim and immerse on one side of the island,
