Quezon province
Quezon province is unique in that of all the provinces in the Calabarzon region, it actually has open water on either side of it – The Philippine Sea to the east and Tayabas Bay to the west, which opens out into the Sulu Sea.
Padre Burgos is a municipality in Quezon province that plays host to three absolutely epic places – Borawan Island, Puting Buhangin (Kuwebang Lampas) and Dampalitan Island.
With an early start, and your own vehicle, this can all be done in a single day, but it is recommended to stay overnight, and why not in these glorious surrounds. If so, you can either camp at Borawan Island, or stay at The Tamarind Tree Resort, which is one of the very few places to stay around this area. This is also the best location to set off via boat for your island adventure.
From The Tamarind Tree Resort, it is easy enough to hire a boat for the day (approx. P1800, good for 6 to 8 pax), which will allow you to experience the wonders of Borawan Island, Puting Buhangin and Dampalitan Island all in the one day.
