Hermana Menor Island

Hermana Menor Island is a small, uninhabited coastal island off the coast of Santa Cruz in Zambales Province, Philippines, forming part of the Hermana Islands pair with nearby Hermana Mayor Island. Situated in the West Philippine Sea, it is characterized by rocky shores, small white-sand coves, and clear surrounding waters. The island is notable for its undeveloped natural setting and is visited primarily on island-hopping boat tours for sightseeing, swimming, and snorkeling.

Visitors can expect a small, undeveloped island with rocky coastline, patches of white sand, and clear waters suitable for swimming and snorkeling on calm days. There are no permanent buildings, shops, or resorts. Access is only by chartered outrigger boat from Santa Cruz. The visit typically involves beach time, sightseeing along the shoreline, photography, and snorkeling around the island, with all supplies brought from the mainland.
