Agutayan White Island of Jasaan, Misamis Oriental

group-picture-at-agutayan-island

Agutayan White Island is among the 7,641 islands in the Philippine archipelago. A beautiful sandbar that is similar to Camiguin’s white Island but the sand is not as fine and white. This is a quick destination I can recommend if you live nearby Cagayan de Oro City which is almost an hour travel. The white island is arguably one of the best places I have ever visited in Jasaan, Misamis Oriental aside from Sagpulon Falls.
