Jomalig Island

Jomalig Island is a remote island municipality in northern Quezon Province, Philippines, located in the Pacific Ocean east of Luzon. Separated from the mainland by Lamon Bay, it is known for its extensive golden-white sand beaches, clear waters, and low-lying coastal landscape with pine-like agoho trees. The island is notable for its undeveloped, tranquil character, traditional fishing villages, and beaches such as Salibungot and Kanaway that attract visitors seeking nature and beach camping.

Visitors can expect a low-lying Pacific island with long stretches of golden to white sand, clear turquoise water, and agoho tree-lined shores. The setting is rural and undeveloped with small fishing villages, nipa huts, homestays and beach camping areas. Visitors can explore beaches such as Salibungot, Kanaway and Lingayen Cove, swim in designated areas, walk along sandbars, and experience a quiet island environment with limited commercial development.

Jomalig was formerly part of Polillo and became an independent municipality on June 18, 1961. The island has historically been a fishing and agricultural community in the Polillo Islands group facing the Pacific Ocean.

The island maintains a traditional Tagalog fishing and farming culture with small coastal villages, local fishing practices, and community-based tourism centered on beach areas.
