Tulang Diot

Tulang Diot

A beautiful Island situated in San Francisco, Camotes, Cebu. The island has pristine white sands and crystal clear water. A perfect getaway to relax. 

Tourists and locals of Tulang visit Tulang Diot via Tulang Dako. "Dako" means big and "Diot" means small in Bisaya.

 

An affordable paradise where you can get away from the city's noise and spend serenity.

Its islet beach appears during low tide and submerged during high tide. During high tide, it's just enough for adults to swim. What makes it special is the sparkling waters above the submerged white sand under your feet!






This beautiful paradise has no restaurant, clubs, hotels, nor any establishment. The place offers food and a souvenir shop available.

A newly opened paradise located in the north of Cebu, Philippines. It is a part of Daan Bantayan, Cebu.

This island used to be private and off limits to tourist and we are thankful it is now open to the public.

An Island with Wonders which captured my heart. A place where you can relax and the best place for those who are soul searching. Enjoy this island for just a thousand!
