Get DirectionsExperience the allure of Anjauan Island, the largest gem in Sipalay’s crown, spanning a whopping 6.8 hectares. Positioned near the Sipalay-Cauayan border, the island can easily be reached via pump boat from Poblacion and Sugar Beach. Here, curious travelers are greeted by a white-sand sandbar whose shape gracefully shifts with the seasons, giving Anjauan the nickname Miracle Island. It is also called Turtle Island, as it is a sanctuary for sea turtles that make the area their nesting ground. The destination also boasts two islets and two marine-protected areas, Julien’s Wreck Marine Reserve and Sanctuary and Cathedral Reef Marine Reserve and Sanctuary. Here, visitors are free to trek, swim, dive, snorkel, or simply take in the natural wonders of Negros.AddressSipalay, Negros Occidental, PhilippinesContact DetailsMobile: +63 906 029 0024Landline: +63 (034) 4349-323Email: [email protected]Operational Hours6:00 am – 5:00 pmBest time to visitSummertime, February to MayHow to get therePre-book an island-hopping boat that will take you from Cartagena Beach in Brgy.
