While travelers flock to Boracay or Palawan, this understated corner rewards those willing to venture slightly off the main routes with raw natural beauty, sparse crowds and a pace that invites lingering. In Tungawan, Bangaan Island stands out as one of the provinceโs best-kept secrets: a marine sanctuary with cream-colored sands, dramatic rock formations, crystal-clear waters, and rich marine life. A nesting site for sea turtles, it offers excellent snorkeling, kayaking, and a tranquil escape with no entrance fee.
