This White-Sand Beach Is One of Iloilo's Best Kept-Secrets
It's two hours away from Iloilo City.
(SPOT.ph) When one thinks of Iloilo in Western Visayas, what easily comes to mind are the famous islands of Sicogon and Gigantes. But there's a lot of other beach destinations in the province that boast white sand and crystal-clear waters, particularly in the municipality of Concepcion. It's located about two hours away from Iloilo City, and best known for 17 tropical islands minus the crowd.
Most of the islands have rustic resorts or camping grounds, such as the Badiango Island Resort on Danao-Danao Island, where guests can spend the night after a whole day of island-hopping. Entrance is only at P30, and cabanas are available for rent at P2,500 for five to eight guests.
