Pasig Island is located in Calauag, Quezon. This tourist spot looks very much like an ordinary island nestling in the calm waters of the Pacific. The people who live there (about 25 families) have very dark skin and brown hair. Coconut trees are all over the island.

Aside from cogon grass, Bermuda grass also grows in abundance. Part of the perimeter of the island is covered with mangroves. Other parts of the beach are made up of either white sand or rocks. The entrance to the island (distance from the shore is about one kilometer) is good for snorkeling because it has colonies of live corals. During low tide, the corals can be clearly seen from a boat.

Pulong Pasig is located in Calauag in Quezon Province. It is an uninhabited island with unspoiled resources. It also has white sand, beach, crystal clear water and with a nice sandbar. Since it is unpopulated, you are required to bring everything you need. The place is not yet regulated by the local government of Calauag, so steppng to the island is free. You just have to pay for the rental services of a small motorized boat that will bring you there. It is accessible by boat, first from the pier of Calauag that will take you to Pangahoy, then another boat that will take you to the island. You will have plenty of time to enjoy the island because there is only one boat in Calauag port that goes to Pangahoy and it leaves at 7AM. Then the last trip from Pangahoy to Calauag will be at 4PM. Just tell the boat owner to pick you up at a specified time so you can catch the boat that goes back to Calauag. You can also stay overnight but for safety concerns, just spend the whole day there.

Closer to Manila is the small unruffled island of Pulong Pasig where a 670-meter-long sandbar can be found. It takes about five hours to drive to the town of Calauag, Quezon, where you have to take a rather thrilling two-part boat ride going to Pulong Pasig. Although the boat ride might be a little grueling for some, reaching the sandbar will reward you with an amazing view of a long sandbar that seems to reach out to a little mangrove island from afar.
