Atulayan Island

Atulayan Island is a small coastal island barangay off the coast of Sagnay municipality in Camarines Sur, Bicol Region, Philippines, located in Lagonoy Gulf. It is known for its sandy shoreline, clear coastal waters and small fishing community. Accessible by motorized boat from the mainland port of Sagnay, the island offers a quiet beach setting, views across the gulf and an experience of local island life separate from the mainland town.

Visitors can expect a short motorized boat ride from Sagnay mainland to a small inhabited island with a sandy beach, clear waters and a fishing village. The setting is rural and low-key with simple houses, fishing boats along the shore, open views of Lagonoy Gulf and the mainland coastline. Areas to explore include the shoreline, village paths and beachfront where swimming, wading and photography are typically done. Facilities are basic and the atmosphere is quiet compared to developed resort islands.

The island is home to a small fishing community whose livelihood is based on fishing in Lagonoy Gulf, reflecting the coastal culture of Sagnay and Camarines Sur.
