SAMBAWAN ISLAND

Sambawan Island is Biliran’s answer to paradise. White sands, thriving marine life and warm blue waters lapping up the tree-lined shore is a must for those wanting escape from reality. Maria Benita, our good fairy must have worked wonders in this place.

Sambawan Island is located 5km of the west coast of Maripipi Municipality, south of the Samar sea, is fast becoming the most visited attraction by the tourists. The semi- curved beach with soaring rock formations covered with green grass as a backdrop create a bubble of fantasy that you are entering another dimension.  Read More:   https://tourism.biliranisland.com/sambawanisland.php

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.
