Camiguin's Mantigue Island
The island's pride is the luxurious number of sea urchins by the shore. I especially like the community there, and met one local guy who is also the pricipal of a public school there (which is very unusual for any island as small as Mantigue to have a school). We opted to visit this place than the "White Island" which according to most people is just a sand bar.

Camiguin's Kebila White Beach

The beach is difficult to find, and the only landmark to guide you is an icon of "Mickey Mouse". It's secluded, and had been developed as an eco-tourism spot, unlike other white sand beaches like Boracay (very pretentious). I like its serenity, how the locals have preserved its beauty. The people from Camiguin are really conservative (check out the signage alone!) and its great to have tumbled upon the "Kebila White Beach". It hosts hundreds of clams (the beach is also called the "Clam Culture"..that figures!).
