SAMBAWAN ISLAND IN BILIRAN

Sambawan Island is an uninhabited set of islets at the western side of Maripipi Island in Biliran Island, Samar. Sambawan Island is full of fun activities to enjoy. The water surrounding its islets is a haven for numerous marine animals. From the spiny sea urchins to the brightly colored clown fishes swimming among the corals, these waters are teeming with life.

You can snorkel at Sambawan Islands’ shallow waters and if you have a camera handy, take some awesome underwater photographs. The warm waters are also excellent for some recreational swimming.

Having a picnic on the white sandy beaches of the Island is the best way to enjoy a meal since there are no cottages to mar the natural beauty of the area. This gives Sambawan Island its unique appeal for the discerning traveler who wants to experience untouched nature

Sambawan Island is endowed with beautiful white sandy beach, rich marine life and coral gardens, which invite intrepid divers and snorkelers especially on summer season. During high tide, Sambawan transforms into three beautiful islets.

Also taking photographs up the rocky faces of the islets makes for excellent compositions. The stark, rocky coastline and spectacular lighting with the clear blue skies as your backdrop are interesting elements you can play with
