Exotic Island Vacations
The Philippines is comprised of more than 7,100 islands, making it the ideal escape for an exotic island vacation. Boracay Island is located on the northwestern tip of Panay, Western Visayas. The island is home to White Beach, which is touted as the "finest beach in the world." The water surrounding the island is shallow and the sand is finer and brighter than most beaches in the archipelago. Mactan Island lies in the heart of Cebu and is dotted with a variety of colors from its beach, hotels, resorts, nightlife, music, food and drinks. Mactan is the perfect place for a tropical island vacation. Philippine travel guidesregard Camiguin, which rhymes with "come again," as the most beautiful island in the country. One of the best beaches on the island is Agohay Beach, which features native cottages, a multipurpose building and motorized pumpboats as accommodations for visitors. Agohay also has a good camping area for Mount Hibok Hibok mountaineers.
