When to go
November-May is drier, and White Beach's water is calm in this season. From June to October the southwest monsoon brings waves to White Beach, and typhoons can stop boats.
Airport to the city
Caticlan Airport (MPH) → jetty → boat
Right next to the jetty, the closest airport to the island. Most flights connect via Manila, Cebu or other hubs.
Jetty fees & getting to your hotel
Besides the boat fare, terminal and environmental fees may be charged at the jetty. Amounts can change, so check official information and carry pesos. From the island port, e-trikes take you to hotels.
Getting around
Walking (White Beach)
Restaurants and shops line the White Beach path, so most places are walkable.
E-trikes
Small electric tricycles on the island's roads. Agree on the destination and fare before riding.
Boats (island tours)
Book boats around nearby islands at beach counters or your hotel. Trips are cancelled in bad weather.
Ride-hailing & hotel cars
Ride-hailing apps may be hard to use on the island; asking your hotel for a car is easier.

Good for: Wide sand, quieter mood
The northern part of White Beach with the widest sand, quieter, with many upscale stays.
Station 2

The southern end of White Beach, with lower rates and a calmer feel.
Bulabog Beach
Good for: Kitesurfing, windy beach
The east-side beach, popular for kitesurfing in windy months — better for wind sports than swimming.
