A Day Spent in Mabaay Island and White Beach Sand in Ivisan, Capiz

A pristine white beach with crystal clear waters which is only a 15-20 minute ride by a motorized banca from LA/ Basiao Beach Resort in Ivisan, Capiz and water is calm ideal for swimming. It was amazingly and picturesque place to be with. Take note: the white beach area is low tide during morning and high tide in the afternoon. The white sand cannot be seen during high tide and was a little rough with tiny pebbles and corals but in the water, it was smooth. Take nothing but a souvenir pictures with the ground, indeed it was amazingly clear and just swim and float in the cool clear water.

Lunch by the Beach in Mabaay Island in Ivisan, Capiz

Well, this island has a lots of thing to offer you like snorkeling, diving, trekking around the island, fishing, lunch by the beach, swimming and many more. You need to bring your own foods and drinks during your trip. We bought some fish, crabs, lobster and oyster at the fish port before heading to the Island, grilled it in side part of the Island. Most visitors who come here just eat, lie down on the beach, take a swim and then leave. The island filled with tall green trees and cogon grass. We enjoyed our lunch very much and thanks to Kuya who cooked for us. Then after eating, we take a dip into the crystal-clear water and took a lot of photos.

It is a small island where some visitors flocked during summer time and powdery white sand of the beach front. The crystal- clear water of this Island attracts many visitors per year and some fishes at the side part of Mabaay Island. This island can be reach by a motorized banca located LA/ Basiao Beach Resort ranging Php 300-500 which depends on number of person. I did not need to dive or snorkel to see the corals up close. I had to do was lower my camera from the banca and takes pictures of the coral. I love being in the beach with friends. You can bring your own foods for lunch by the beach.


Our First Time at Tuwad Island in Ivisan, Capiz

Island Hopping in Ivisan | Capiz. Most people get around by boat because it so much easier for them to travel to different island of Capiz. We were  lucky to have our friend's own banca and they charged us with a minimal fee. The island has a great view of lighthouse in the center, water is so clean and many corals along the reef. You can enjoy snorkeling in a crystal-clear water or even swimming to the reef of island. At the nearby island of Ivisan, there were also a lot of boulders and interesting rock formation and the waves is a little bit strong and continuous crashed onto the island's shores. It had less people compare to other part of the island. This is my unforgettable experience in my hometown province, I was able to explore unique places, island and white beaches.


The Lighthouse of Tuwad Island in Ivisan, Capiz

This lighthouse is newly build by the municipal office of Ivisan. About 20 feet high and painted with white color. This is our first time here and I was amazed about the hidden beauty and unspoiled place like this. Upon arriving at Tuwad Island, we took about 2 minutes walk towards the top portion of the lighthouse. There are a lot of cogon grass and an overlooking view of the ocean. I have noticed this the white sand portion in the island and some of the corals are a live too. It is no surprise that we have a lot of lighthouse and nice view of an unspoiled island in our country. Few tourist ventures or come here because it can access by a motorized banca. We meet locals from Ivisan and Roxas City, they just come here because of the clean environment and a clearer blue-water of the place.
