HIGATANGAN ISLAND

Moving sand bar extending about 200 meters to the sea; one huge coral rock-a reef that was thrust up from the ocean’s floor centuries ago. The fields are studded with gigantic clam shells measuring up to a meter wide. The island has several white sand beaches sprinkled with exotic shells newly washed up from the seabed. Facing an open sea, the white sand beach, cool pristine waters and exotic rock formations of Higatanangan Island is itself nature at its best.

Here at Higatangan Island in Biliran, the sands are never the same.  Its sandbar could snake into several meters one day and spread out in a few directions the next. The differences are most pronounced between the summer and rainy months. The gentle amihan (northeast monsoon wind) usually from November to May directs Higatangan sandbar to the right, while the stronger habagat (southwest monsoon wind) for the rest of the year blows it to the left. Sometimes, pools of water with fish can even be found in the sandbar during the habagat months, as a few locals have told me.

And of course, the colors change, too, depending on the time of the day. I had the privilege of walking along Higatangan sandbar at mid-afternoon, late afternoon to sunset, and sunrise and morning the next day. I was also lucky to spot sea gulls gliding at the end of the sandbar during the afternoon, though not lucky enough to photograph them.    Read More: https://iamtravelinglight.com/2012/06/12/the-shifting-sands-and-colors-at-higatangan-island-biliran/
