A tiny islet off Hilantagaan, about 3 miles up the coast from Santa Fe, with a sand beach and clear water - Bantayan's island-hopping day trip.
Practical
Coordinates are Sillon (Silion / Hilantagaan Diot) Island in OpenStreetMap, which Solita (2012) describes as the 'tiny island' north of Hilantagaan known as Virgin Island. Katie Lee (2011) took guests swimming off its sand beach by dinghy; two swimmers got stinging blisters from something in the water - wear rash guards. Small private facilities and landing fees may apply (not verified). Shallow reef around - dinghy at mid to high tide.
