Limasawa Island
Philippines , Philippines
Limasawa Island is a small island municipality at the southern tip of Leyte in Southern Leyte, Philippines, often described as the place where the first documented Roman Catholic Mass in the country was held on March 31, 1521 during Ferdinand Magellan’s expedition.
Covering only about 7 square kilometers with a population of roughly 6,000 people, it is one of the smallest and quietest towns in the province, made up of a few coastal barangays and a simple, low‑key island lifestyle. The island attracts visitors mainly for its historical shrines, including the site of the first Mass and a cross‑topped hill with panoramic sea views, as well as calm coves suitable for swimming and snorkeling, all reachable by small boat from nearby Padre Burgos on the mainland.
