Turtle Island

One of the recent spontaneous trips I had this summer was located in Siit, Siaton. The beach is called Turtle Island. It can be accessed by 2-wheel or 4-wheel vehicle about 8 kilometers from the national road going south. Upon reaching a small directional sign, a bumpy ride awaits you until you reach a clearing, which is where we take a small boat to cross the sea to go to Turtle Island. The boat costs Php40 per person and lasts for just about 3-5 minutes.

The beach is not crowded. There are a few other beach goers when we got there, and there was one sari-sari store, which was great. One side of the island has a sandy beach and the other side is very rocky.

This is the boat we took to cross to the island you see clearly from this side.

Bring a hammock! It's a great place to chill and read a book!

We have wonderful golden hour light here, facing this side of the beach.
