Kalanggaman Island 

Kalanggaman Island is a pristine dream beach destination in the Visayas; exactly located in the municipality of Palompon and the province of Leyte. It is famous for its stretches of white powdery sand beaches and its crystal clear blue waters that stretch along both sides of this island. The uniqueness of this among other island is, it has a sand bars that stretch almost a kilometer.

(according to sea-explores.com) The island gained more and more attention after 2013 when a big cruise ship stopped there to let its guest relax under the palm trees for a few hours.

There’s no resort on Kalanggaman Island but to provide some comfort for its visitors the local government built some basic facilities and assures safety by tourist policemen which are stationed on the island.

It is a perfect getaway for just a day or a couple of days of camping. The snorkeling as well as the diving is beautiful and enjoyable in the calm waters around Kalanggaman Island. Occasionally overnight stays in tents or hammocks are also being offered.

Since there’s no water or restaurants on the island be sure you bring your own supplies. You might have the possibility to buy some fresh fish caught by local fisherman which can be barbequed in one of the several grilling stations on the island.

hard corals as well as well as a big variety of fish. Whale shark and also thresher shark encounters have been made here.
