Maculabo Island

Maculabo Island is a small coastal island off the municipality of Paracale in Camarines Norte, Bicol Region, Philippines. Situated in the Philippine Sea north of the mainland, it is noted for its long white-sand beach, clear turquoise waters, and relatively undeveloped coastline. Accessible by boat from Paracale port, the island is visited for swimming, beach camping, photography, and island-hopping, offering a quiet alternative to more crowded beaches in the region.

Visitors can expect a boat ride of about 30-45 minutes from Paracale port to a long, curved white-sand beach with clear shallow waters and scattered coconut trees. The island is largely undeveloped with basic cottages, open beach areas for camping, and a small fishing settlement. Facilities are minimal, with no large resorts. Visitors can swim, walk along the shoreline, take photos, and camp overnight. The surroundings are open sea and nearby islets, with calm conditions typically in the morning.
