Catanduanes
Region V · Region V (Bicol)
Catanduanes, the 'Happy Island', sits in the Pacific and receives some of the strongest typhoons in the country -- but between storms, Puraran Beach delivers world-class hollow surf. The island has waterfalls, caves, pristine black-sand and white-sand beaches, and almost no mass tourism. Reach it by ferry from Tabaco, Albay or by propeller plane from Manila.
