Camiguin

Welcome To Camiguin


Camiguin is the second smallest island of the Philippines in both area and population yet one of the most beautiful islands. It is just 23 kilometers at its longest and just a bit more than 14 kilometers at its widest. Within this small area lie seven volcanoes. Lovely little Camiguin is the island “born of fire”.

Much of the island was formed through earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. In the late 1800s, the eruption of Mt. Vulcan submerged the old town of Catarman – pushing it below the sea, leaving behind the ruins of a church and its bell tower.  The Sunken Cemetery, now marked with a huge cross, was also one of the areas in this old town.

Many come to this island for diving. But it’s the volcanoes, the therapeutic volcanic black sand and the white-sand beaches that tourists are crazy about. Lonely Planet say’s drop it down next to Hawaii and it wouldn’t look out of place.
