Palumbanes Group of Islands

The Palumbanes Group of Islands is a small archipelago off the northern coast of Catanduanes in the municipality of Caramoran, Philippines. It consists of Palumbanes Island and smaller islets such as Calabagio and Cagbalinad. The group is known for long stretches of white and golden sand beaches, clear waters, and small fishing communities. Relatively undeveloped and accessible only by boat, it offers a quiet, natural coastal environment.

Visitors can expect a remote island setting with expansive sandy beaches, clear turquoise waters, and views of the Pacific Ocean. The main island has a small fishing village, scattered homestays and cottages, and undeveloped shoreline ideal for walking and beachcombing. There are no large resorts or commercial developments. Access is by motorized boat from Caramoran mainland, and exploration is on foot along beaches and village paths.
