Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a small, undeveloped coastal island with a white sand beach, clear shallow waters and natural vegetation including nearby mangroves. There are no major built structures on the island. Access is by small boat from the Prieto Diaz mainland, typically from Barangay Calintaan. The setting is quiet and natural, suitable for beach walks, swimming in calm conditions, photography and viewing the Albay Gulf coastline.
