The hidden paradise of Sablayan, Occidental Mindoro

 Sablayan is one of the municipalities in Occidental Mindoro, home of more than 80 thousand people became the largest Municipality in the Philippines in terms of land area with a total of 2188 kilometers. The main sources of livelihood here are base on  Agriculture and fishing that makes people choose to live in a simple way. On another side of having a simple way of life, this place has a lot of hidden beauty that could be discovered and to be proud of all over the world; One of these is the PANDAN ISLAND.

Pandan Island is a small tropical island surrounded by fined white sand which is perfect for those who loved Island hopping and I will recommend staying overnight. This tiny Island Beach has room accommodations, a small restaurant, and different beach activities.

You can spend your quality time in its tropical surroundings without any transportation noises while a coconut tree longing between you and the sea. Experience colorful birds singing in the morning and the sea breeze strike at the beachside.
