Next, you will go to Bantigue Sandbar, famous for its sands’ brownish tone changing to a golden hue at sunset. Head next for a cliff diving adventure at Tangke Salt Water Lagoon, which has refreshing shallow waters and beautiful rock formations. 

Puting Baybay Gamay, which is your next destination, has creamy-colored shores and blue waters, perfect for lounging and swimming. Enjoy before heading to Pulupandan Island, a small islet known for its aquamarine waters and white sands. Afterward, you will head back to Bancal Port Carles.
