Tubabao

Guiuan, Philippines, Philippines

Tubabao Island is a small 6.13-square-kilometer landmass off the southeastern tip of Samar in Guiuan municipality, Eastern Samar province, Philippines, nestled within Leyte Gulf and historically significant as a temporary refuge for around 6,000 White Russian refugees fleeing communist China between 1949 and 1951 under the International Refugee Organization.

During World War II, it served as part of the U.S. Navy's Leyte-Samar Naval Base, leaving remnants of military structures amid its rustic terrain rising to 35 meters with 13 kilometers of coastline. Accessible by short boat from Guiuan's town center, this serene, less-touristed haven offers hiking to swimming holes, caves, white sand beaches, and welcoming local culture with basic amenities like electricity and stores, blending natural beauty with poignant history.
