Higatangan Island

Naval, Biliran, Philippines, Philippines

Higatangan Island belongs to Naval municipality in Biliran province, Eastern Visayas, Philippines, separated from the mainland by a narrow channel and named from the Visayan word "atangan" meaning "to wait," linked to historical pirate ambushes and Moro lookouts.

This scenic fishing village boasts white sand beaches, a famous shifting sandbar stretching 200 meters like a giant tongue from Barangay Mabini, exotic rock formations, crystal-clear waters, Marcos Hill with a lighthouse, and Higatangan Beach Resort amid coconut groves.

Reached by a 45-minute to 1-hour pump boat from Naval port (P50-100 fare or P3,000-5,000 private charter), it offers snorkeling, cliff diving, and a peaceful escape with limited electricity (5-10:30 PM) best visited during the dry Summer Festival in May.
