Buluan Island

Buluan Island is a small coastal island forming part of Barangay Buluan in Ipil, the capital municipality of Zamboanga Sibugay in western Mindanao, Philippines. Situated just off the mainland in Ipil Bay, it is noted for its sandy shoreline, clear shallow waters and quiet fishing community setting. Reached by a short outrigger boat ride from Ipil, the island functions as a simple local beach and day-trip destination.

Visitors can expect a small, low-lying island with stretches of sandy beach, clear bay waters, coconut palms and a small fishing community. Access is exclusively by hired outrigger boat from the Ipil mainland. The island is largely undeveloped with open beach areas suitable for walking, wading and photography, and offers views across Ipil Bay toward the mainland. Facilities are very basic and the environment is calm and rural.
