Before you go
What you'll find
- An S-shaped sandbar 1,012 m long, the third longest in the Philippines
- Bare white sand in open water, far from any shore
Good to know
- Caution: The sandbar is above water only at low tide. Visitors who arrive at high tide miss it; one of the clips here shows it at high tide.
- In August 1944, eight survivors of the US submarine Flier, sunk by a mine in the Balabac Strait, reached this island after 17 hours in the water.
- Plan the trip itself with the getting-here guide and the safety guide.
