White sands, clear waters, lots of trees serving as shades, bonfire every night, beautiful sunrise and sunset — these are just a few reasons why tourists frequently visit the paradise-like Potipot Island at Candelaria, Zambales.

With a distance of just one kilometer, Potipot Island can already be seen from the shore. The weather is good and the sea is peaceful that day so we arrived at the island for only 7 minutes. There’s a mandatory registration required for all tourists with entrance or environmental fee worth P100 per head.

Aside from the powdery white sands, the abundant stretch of trees caught the attention of visitors. The trees there a very bushy, that their branches reach the seawater which serves as natural shade for sightseers. Driftwood can also be seen along the beach.

There are also cottages for visitors to rest on and for those who want an overnight stay. Facilities are also available such as comfort rooms, multipurpose hall, basketball/volleyball court, tree house, and sari-sari stores. What’s more, phone signal loss is not a problem on the island since it’s just near the mainland. Read More: http://www.tupanggala.com/potipot-island/

Potipot Island is dubbed as “Small White Island” roughly about 7.5 hectares and is located in Candelaria, a 3rd class municipality in the province of Zambales, Philippines. It is also known for Uacon Lake which is considered the cleanest lake in Central Luzon and for its beautiful beach resorts.

The islet is very near to mainland from Zambales, that’s why tourists could just ride a boat going to the island in only 8 to 10 minutes travel time from the shore because it’s approximately 1 kilometer away.

It’s a perfect place to chill and unwind from the stressful life in the city because of its serene ambiance. In fact, you can explore the entire island in about 15-20 minutes. You’ll fall in love with the sunset as the white sand glitters from the ray of the crimson sun. Read More: https://www.wandereview.com/2019/02/the-serene-potipot-island-of-candelaria.html
