At the extreme end of the archipelago lies an island so simple and quiet it will deliver anyone into a state of instant tranquility. Get ready to be pampered by the sight of hovering sea eagles, soft waves, and the soaring coconut trees which all utterly complement the bright sunny sky.

Saluag, the southernmost island of the Philippines, is home to two indigenous tribes: Tausug and Sama Dilaut, who live together in perfect harmony with the sea. Their main livelihood includes fishing, boat making and seaweed farming.

In a place where time seems to stand still, a busy and stressful day is probably the last thing you’ll experience. And with the bluish green to emerald water adorning its shore, a visit to Saluag will surely be worth the long travel. Read More: http://insights.looloo.com/5-super-remote-philippine-beaches/

Just like most Philippine islands, Saluag Island (as it is more commonly known) is fringed with powdery, white-sand beaches and palm trees. Approaching the island, one would immediately notice the commanding presence of 2 lighthouses (a 100++ year old lighthouse and a 10-year old modern lighthouse). As our “speedboat”draws nearer, I caught myself endlessly repeating the word “wow”. The surrounding water of the island is crystal clear with vivid sightings of the sea grass beneath. I was so excited to dock and experience this island’s charm. Read More: https://nojuanisanisland.com/2015/09/01/saluag-sikulan/

Finally, there is Saluag, which is the southernmost island in the Philippine Archipelago. It is locally known as Sikulan and is inhabited by a small community of Sama Dilaut and Tausug that live off the waters teeming with fish and seaweed. It is easy to lose track of time in this island of clear waters and white sand.

There are two lighthouses standing on this island, an old rusty lighthouse and a modern serviceable one.

This island paradise is blessed with fine white sand and healthy green bushes that make it a perfect closing destination for a tour of Tawi-Tawi. Read More: https://www.rappler.com/life-and-style/travel/ph-travel/93689-tawi-tawi-travel-mindanao-sights
