Camotes is a group of Islands situated in the east part of Cebu. Apart from beautiful white sand beaches, there are other interesting places that you can explore. To get there, you have to ride a boat from the Danao port. Danao is located north of Cebu. An hour to less than two is an approximate time to reach the Camotes Islands.

The Wonders of Camotes Islands

TULANG DIOT ISLAND. I overheard from our boatman that they got the name of the island from the word "diotay" which is a Cebuano term for "small". It is an islet of Tulang Dako which in opposite means big. From mainland San Francisco, we rode a small boat going to this island. What met our sight was a glorious white sand beach and crystal blue water. The islet was indeed a breathtaking site. You'll never regret stepping into this island.

A quick shot while our boatman was getting ready to cross the water going to Tulang Diot.

BUHO ROCK.During our trip, we didn't really stay here for the entire day. We just checked out the magnificent place and took pictures. My friends who were good at swimming tried jumping over a cliff at the venue, which was actually a good spot. It is an extraordinary resort, its rock formation is a remarkable sight to view, it's kind of shaped like a ship. In going to the cottages, you will pass by a good number of steps downward, and when you climb back up to exit, it's quite tiring.

There are roughly 56 steps up, going to the Buho Graden.

TIMUBO CAVE. You can explore the cave and do swimming underground. There is an entrance fee of 15.00 (But, since I haven't gone there for quite a while, I don't know if the rates have changed).

Main entrance

Stairs that lead you to the underground water. It's a bit slippery and dark inside so you have to be careful or hold the railings installed on the stairs.

You can take a splash here.

LAKE DANAO PARK. If you are a nature lover, this place is for you. There is an entrance fee of 10 to 15 pesos. There are plenty of activities you can do in this park. You can indulge in sakanaw cruise(for a different fee), for an hour and do a little exploring and picture taking on an islet where the motorboat would take you. There are swimming pools available if you'd like to chill there, and avail of their menu if you're in to chow. You can go boating and paddle around, as well.

BAYWALK. After our Timubo Cave visit, we came to this place and took advantage of our time to rest and eat. The Baywalk is located in San Francisco, Camotes. It's like a plaza, a good place to hang out and relax.

BEACHES & RESORTS
There are a lot of white sand beaches and resorts that the Camotes Islands can offer. Inasmuchas I would like to experience all of these, I just couldn't for lack of time and funds it demand. So here are just a few of the beaches and resorts that I and my friends have conquered.

MANGODLONG PARADISE BEACH RESORT
Apart from this (shown in the image), they also have an infinity swimming pool for the guests.

SANTIAGO BAY
You'll certainly enjoy strolling the vast shore. There are food stores in the area where you can buy from when you get famished from walking or swimming.
