Ambulong Island

Ambulong Island is the largest offshore island of San Jose municipality in Occidental Mindoro, Philippines, located southwest of the town proper across the Mindoro Strait. The island is administered as Barangay Ambulong and is known for its white-sand beaches, clear waters, coral reefs and fishing villages. Accessible only by boat, it offers a quiet coastal setting with beaches, snorkeling areas and views of nearby islets, serving as a day-trip destination from San Jose.

Visitors can expect a rural coastal island reached by outrigger boat from San Jose, with white-sand beaches, clear shallow waters, coral areas for snorkeling, fishing villages and scattered beach cottages. The interior is lightly settled with coconut groves and small communities. There are no large resorts; exploration is focused on beach areas, swimming and snorkeling spots, and boat-based sightseeing around the coastline.
