Nestled in a cove near Cantaan is a beautiful beach with white sand, the Kabila White Beach. This beach facing Mindanao is already a surprise. But actually, the real surprise is the Giant Clam Nursery.

It is a pleasure to observe the Giant Clams. They react to your movements and close their shells with astonishing speed. When you approach more carefully or wait a few seconds while the clam opens again, you can observe the breathing and other movements.

The Giant Clam Sanctuary in Guinsiliban, Camiguin is located in a bay near Cantaan. In there lies a beautiful white sand beach named Kaliba Beach where a sanctuary of giant clams awaits the visitors. Kabila Giant Clam Conservation and Ocean Nursery homes more than 2,600 clams including the giant clams in which one can find the seven (out of nine) species of giant clams in the world.

Upon going to the sanctuary one can found a notice from the management which indicates that the Kabila Giant Clam Conservation and Ocean Nursery is a non-government project and all proceeds are used in the maintenance and conservation of giant clams as well as the marine sanctuary.

GIANT CLAMS NURSERY

If you’re planning to take a dip or snorkel. you could rent a snorkeling set for about P50, floaters on the other hand is worth P20. I highly suggest this activity. The sight of the giant clams in their natural habitat is a remarkable sight.

If you’re not in the mood to get wet, there is what I call as “Giant Clam Educational Tour” that you’ll enjoy for sure. Just around the vicinity are water tanks/ round pools containing several giant clams that the locals are breeding. This Giant Clam Nursery is just a mere extension of the vast Giant Clam farm found in the area.

What I like about the “Giant Clam Educational Tour”, aside from seeing the giant clams up close without getting wet, is the vivid explanations of the young local girls who knows a lot about these beautiful creatures. When you listen to one of them speak, it seems like you’re watching Discovery Channel or Nat Geo Adventures. They are really fluent in English and would even entertain any questions about the giant clams. Read More: https://nicerioadventures.blogspot.com/2013/09/featured-destination-kabila-white-beach.html
