Caramoan : Sabitang Laya
Island hopping for my kids is just a normal thing, but in reaching Sabitang Laya in Caramoan, I heard them say "Wow!"
When we are nearing the last island on the list, I just got my camera and took as many photos as I can, I didn't know that we will dock on that island with magnificent rock formations.

| these rocks greeted every visitor with a smile...Welcome to Sabitang Laya =) |
 |
| kahit galit ang araw picture pa rin ang mommy...that's why we are here for to take photos with those rocks...wala nyan sa atin, hehehe =) |

Sabitang Laya has the longest stretch of light-brown powdery that extends up to 2 kilometers when combined with the shoreline from the other side of the beach. The sand quality can be compared with Panglao Island in Bohol. The island is a perfect place for beach camping too, having vast sandy shores in between.

| our faces are toasted and burned but we are so happy playing with sand and water |
 |
| takot din pala sa araw =) |

We spent more than an hour here since this is the last island that we visited. I really enjoyed taking photos on the different sides of this island. The twin beach, the captivating limestone rock formations, the powder like sand and the clear water made this island the most popular. It's just so sad to see some rock formations being vandalized by some tourists. It is always applicable to all visitors to bear in mind the simple quote "take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints".
We ended our island hopping in one of the most wonderful islands in Caramoan...So beautiful that even the "Paraiso" teleserye of Kapamilya network had shot some scenes here.
I asked my kids if we're going back in Caramoan? Yeah sure basta mommy dun na lang sa dati mong dinaanan...I came here last 2004, when Caramoan was only seen on maps and not on blogs, for a work related survey. We landed at Virac, Catanduanes, land travel of an hour to Codon Port, and from here there are already island hopping packages starting at Php2500. It is easier to visit Caramoan this way... Caramoan became the most difficult travel of my family eversince. Coming from Bataan, a 10 hour night trip on a bus, a 2 hour jeepney ride and another bumpy wavy boat ride of 2 hours...But all I can say is that SULIT ang sakit sa puwit!
