SNAKE ISLAND
WHAT??? Snake Island???
YES! We do have an island of snakessss in Dasol, Pangasinan!
It is CULIBRA ISLAND just miles away from Manila. It is also called Colebra
island or previously known as Camaso Island, but don’t worry, we haven’t seen a
single sea snake as the name implies.
It may look tiny in Google Earth;
But it is a perfect getaway to refresh and enjoy the summer
heat!
HOW TO GET THERE!
- From Cubao, ride a bus going to Alaminos, Pangasinan which will cost you P398.00. The travel time is only 6 hours via TPLEX. Thanks to TPLEX, it is now easier to travel to the North.
- Then you will arrive at the bus terminal, ride another bus bound to Sta. Cruz to go to Burgos, Pangasinan which will cost you P39.00.
- Next, you will be dropped off at Burgos Palengke where you can buy food and other necessities then you can hire a tricycle to bring you to Tambobong Beach. The tricycle ride cost us P100.00 per person which took us 30 minutes bumpy ride. The bumpy ride, however, is worth it when we arrived at the beautiful Tambobong white sand beach. The sand is as fine as the sand in Boracay.
- Then, ride a boat going to Culibra Island for P100.00 per person (round trip). It will take you roughly 30 minutes to get there.
CULIBRA ISLAND
Culibra Island is free of entrance
but you can also rent a cottage for P350.00. You can also stay overnight without extra charge.
It amazes me that we have this kind
of island near Manila with white sand and clear water.
The water is so pure and
cold, that makes you want to stay in the water all day. That is the reason why
most people who went here got sunburned. I endured my sunburn for a week!
CULIBRA ISLAND is just one of the
magnificent islands in the Philippines. Hopefully, more generations can visit
this island and as a Filipino, it is our responsibility to take care of what we
have.
