Ditaytayan Island Sandbar

11° 44.4′ N · 120° 6.1′ E

A shifting white sandbar and turquoise shallows at the end of Ditaytayan, the lunch stop of the southern island tours.

Practical

Cruising World (2025): popular with tour boats; they paid a landing fee and anchored the dinghy in the shallows. Hackingfamily: a sand spit at the north tip is fun to walk; a trail runs past a derelict house to the far-side beach; a local woman sweeping the beach did not ask them for a fee; good birding. Snorkel the edges of the visible reefs. Mapped in OpenStreetMap as Ditaytayan Beach.
