A short boat ride from Tambobong (just about 20-22 minutes) is a small island called Colibra Island. Its also called "Snake Island" by some because of the sizable population of sea snakes there (we found none, our guide said its best to do sea snake hunting at night). See large version panorama here.Its such a small island I can't even see it in Google Earth, but its a very nice place to get marooned in (at least for the day). The northwest side of the island is the best place for swimming and sunbathing. Be prepared for a good tan since the island offers very little shade.
We got the whole island for ourselves that day. The sky was amazingly blue and the wind a bit chilly (Colibra is in South China sea).
All sides of the island offer scenic views. Colibra is a must-visit if you happen to wander around the vicinity of Tambobong.

thankfully walang sea snakes. I really don't care to go sea snake hunting at any time of the day or night. ;) Great stitch for the panoramic view of the island!

risa, that is sad! last time I was there they were starting to build some cottages on the east side of the island. the trash must be the result of the Holy Week crowd. The island is one of the more popular destinations, but there are other destinations there that are still virtually untouched.
