Tinalisayan Island

Tinalisayan Island is a small coastal island in the municipality of San Pascual on Burias Island, Masbate Province, Bicol Region, Philippines. It is notable for its long, narrow white sandbar that emerges prominently at low tide, surrounded by clear turquoise waters. The uninhabited island is part of the Burias Islands island-hopping circuit and is valued for its pristine beach landscape, shallow waters and natural, undeveloped setting.

Visitors can expect an undeveloped island dominated by a long white sandbar and shallow clear waters, with open sea views on both sides. The landscape is flat and sandy with minimal vegetation and no permanent buildings. Access is by chartered outrigger boat from San Pascual. Visitors can walk along the sandbar, wade and swim in shallow areas, snorkel near the shore, and take photographs. There are limited facilities and no shops, so the experience is natural and exposed to sun and wind.

The island is part of the traditional fishing grounds of San Pascual communities on Burias Island and is now a key stop on the local island-hopping tourism circuit that highlights the coastal livelihood and seascape of northern Masbate.
