Nogas Island

Nogas Island is a small uninhabited coastal island located about 3 kilometers off the coast of Anini-y, the southernmost municipality of Antique Province in Western Visayas, Philippines. It is a protected marine reserve known for its white sand beach, clear turquoise waters, coral reefs, and fringing mangroves. The island is managed by the local government as an ecotourism site and marine sanctuary.

Visitors can expect a small, undeveloped island with a white sand beach on its eastern side, clear shallow waters with coral formations, and a forested interior with mangroves. Access is by small outrigger boat from Anini-y mainland. Facilities are basic with open cottages and toilets. Activities center on swimming, snorkeling over the reef, beach walking, photography, and viewing the old lighthouse area. The island is for day visits only with no overnight accommodation.

Nogas Island has served as a navigational landmark in southern Antique and hosts a historic lighthouse established during the American colonial period to guide vessels along the Sulu Sea and Panay Gulf.

The island is a community-managed marine protected area reflecting local conservation practices of Anini-y. It supports traditional fishing livelihoods and is promoted as an ecotourism site showcasing Antique's coastal heritage.
