If there is one icon that
represents Cantilan , that would be the Island of Huyamao due to its distinct
image that resembles the popular cartoon character of Homer Simpson from afar.
Aside
from the lush vegetation , the island is
littered with white sand beaches that are comparable to the sugar fine white
sand of Boracay. The whole island is reported
to be inhabited by isolated wild monkeys and some raptors or big birds dwelling in the
secluded place.


My usual five minutes swimming in the marine water lasted
for another thirty, as the warm tropical and crystal clear water was so irresistible
to leave.
How I wished to stay longer but the sun was setting fast and we need
to get back to the mainland Cantilan before dark .
There are no entrance fee in the island and you can bring your food and drinks to have family picnic and bask under the sun in this beautiful beach paradise in Cantilan, Surigao del Sur, Mindanao.
To get there , just check my previous post on Blue Lagoon.
I may call Cantilan (Huyamao Island) as a paradise. Parang addict na rin ako sa beach, ah denz?
ReplyDeletedi ba nagpunta kau sa south .. gaganda rin kaya ng mga beaches dun ... pero mas gusto ko ung mejo di pa masyadong napuntahan ...

ReplyDeleteang ganda ng beach nagugustuhan ko narin ang beach :)
ReplyDeletevery BEAUTIFUL. Another on my list of places to go. Yep, i definitely see Bart Simpson ...
ReplyDeleteI am originated from cantilan, cannot assure the safety in the island due to the raptors and monkeys that isolated the island but try to contact the local officials in cantilan, at the back of the island there's a cave in which you can reach if it is low tide, hidden secret is a crown of a king was been there and still missing as what my grandfather told me..the island is paradise..
ReplyDeletei think raptors and monkeys do not pose any threat at all . they will even make the place more beautiful and look pristine because of the evidence of such wildlife thriving in the area .. meaning the place is a conducive for survival. High biodiversity means LIFE + Paradise ...
