Isla Gigantes
Gigantes Islands, or Islas de Gigantes as they are formally known, are made up of about 12 beautiful islands. They are approximately 18 km (11 miles) from the main island of Panay in northern Iloilo Province. The original name of the island group was Sabuluag or Salauagbut. It was later on changed as it was believed that coffins found in Bakwitan cave contained a gigantic set of human bones.
Rock Formations
The Philippines is blessed with so many beautiful islands. Along with the many wonderful beaches, many islands also have beautiful rugged terrain surrounding the islands. Tall limestone cliffs and other interesting formations are common in the Isla Gigantes area (as well as some other parts of the Philippines).
Cabugao Gamay
Cabugao Gamay is located on the northern tip of Antonio Island (sometimes incorrectly referred to as Cabugao Island). It has a beautiful white sand beach with water on both sides. A short climb up the nearby hill provides a wonderful view of the beach and is often referred to as Selfie Island because of the stunning view.
