Dapitan City is not just all about Dakak Park Beach Resort and Jose Rizal anymore. One of the best beaches to experience when in Dapitan is the crystal clear turquoise waters of Aliguay Island.

While underway the swells were a bit rough, but that didn’t matter anymore as we were greeted by the shimmering white sands of Aliguay Island upon arrival. I find the island small and inhabited mostly by fisher folks. To my surprise, I discovered an airstrip! Such a small island at that with an airstrip can only mean two things!! Either the island is owned by such a wealthy business tycoon who flies to the island for his own private leisure or the island must soon be a major beach destination!   Read More: http://www.bestspotsph.com/2012/08/guest-post-my-aliguay-island-adventour.html

Aliguay Island Protected Landscape and Seascape Marine Sanctuary is located on an island in the Visayas, within the central Philippines, and a barangay of Dapitan City. The island is under the custody of the Philippine Navy and is an established marine sanctuary.

The island is surrounded by white sand beaches and coral reefs. There are no water sources on the island. A few residents live on Aliguay Island, mostly selling fish to tourists.  Read More:  https://greedypeg.org/zamboanga-del-norte/Aliguay-Island-Protected-Landscape-and-Seascape-Marine-Sanctuary.html

 

ALIGUAY ISLAND

Aliguay Island in Dapitan City, Zamboanga del Norte is surrounded by the Sulu Sea.  Getting there is an adventure by itself.  You can go by helicopter from Dakak Park and Beach Resort, take the motorized banca, or ride on the crest of waves on a speedboat like we did. It was 30-45 minutes of a pure adrenaline ride over undulating white-capped waters and being sprayed on by sea water from time to time. My eyes were stinging from the salt water. But speedboats do glide.  And the sight of a long stretch of white sand beach with waving coconut palms and clear blue waters was more than enough to pull me through the rough ride.  Beach bum that I am, Aliguay Island proved to be a perfect getaway from the crowd.   Read More:   https://www.choosephilippines.com/go/islands-and-beaches/2286/aliguay-island-zamboanga-del-norte/
