BALABAC - The Last of Philippine's Last Frontier
Out of 44 islands we have marveled to 15 destinations including islands and sandbars in what I call, the Last of the Last Frontier -- Balabac.
With an estimated distance of 830 kilometers from Manila, Balabac can be reached 6 hours by land from Puerto Princesa and 3 hours by boat to the camping site in Candaraman Island which is situated in Sulu sea.
Punta Sebaring has the best beach I've seen by far and has the finest (powdery) sand (not coral sand). The water around Balabac is the best description of pristine waters; crystal clear and spotless. Its hues varies from cyan to turquoise to deep blue. It will leave your breathless.
Here are some of the off the beaten destinations in underrated Balabac which I squeezed-in in this vid:
📍Patunggong (maliit) Island or Kanimiran Island
