BUAYA BEACH

The sandy beach lining the coast of Brgy. Buaya is (arguably) the best swimming beach in Sicogon Island. It was once the setting for the seaside pavilion of Sicogon Island Resort.

The opulent structures of the resort are long gone. Instead, tall coconut trees and nipa hut dwellings of locals now dominate the landscape. The main cluster of the Gigantes Islands can be seen from Brgy. Buaya side of Sicogon.

There are beach cottages near the middle part of the beach. These simple nipa hut accommodations are available for day trippers and “overnighters.”

The mid-part of the beach has the widest shoreline and has the lightest colored/finest sand. The sand in Sicogon has a slight yellow/orange tint. Walking further east or westwards, the coast gets more irregular.  Read More: http://www.exploreiloilo.com/do/info/sicogon/

Fronting the white sand beach of Barangay Buaya is Tumaquin Island known for its aura of fantasy. This unhabited island has clear waters and creamy beach. Identified as a potential scuba diving site which holds the elusive qualities of undersea world. Trekking farther on the north east of Barangay Buaya, approximately two kilometers, is the majestic Mt. Opao, the pride of Sicogon Island. Standing at the top one can have a breathtaking view of the island and the neighboring islands. Its forested slopes are acclaimed to be the haven of wild boars, bald eagles, pitcher plant and various species of flora and fauna. The whole of Sicogon Island depends on the natural spring coming from Mt. Opao for their water system. 

Another attraction of the island are its abundant coral reefs which is good for scuba diving and snorkeling. Giant clams are also abundant in the island. This clams can grow up to 4 feet in diameter and most of this clams can be found near the entrance of old Spanish churches used to hold holy water. Read More: http://allaboutcarles.blogspot.com/2009/12/sicogon-island-carles-iloilo-once.html
