Caramoan Island is located in a first-class municipality in the province of Camarines Sur, Bicol Region, Philippines. It is located at the tip of the
Caramoan Peninsula, a rugged place of land extending into the waters of the Maqueda Channel on the north and east andLagonoy Gulf on the south.
Caramoan is bounded on the north by the town of Garchitorena and the Philippine Sea of the Pacific Ocean; on the northeast by the island province of Catanduanes; on the south by Lagonoy Gulf; on the east by the Maqueda Channel and on the west by the municipality of Presentacion.
The municipality covers approximately 277.41 square kilometres (107.11 sq mi) with approximately 71 kilometres (44 mi) of irregular coastline surrounded by the vast ocean, bay, seas and swamps. It is approximately 500 kilometres (310 mi) from Metro Manila; 95 kilometres (59 mi) from the municipality of Pili, where the seat of the provincial government and the Naga Domestic Airport are located; and 110 kilometres (68 mi) east from Naga City, the heart of Bicol.
Off the coast of the peninsula are numerous small islets. The 10 principal islands of the group are:
Baging,Cagbanilad,Catanhawan,Cotivas,Lahus,Lahuy,Matukad,Minalahos,
Pitogo and Sabitang.
We had vacation here year 2009. Travelling in Caramoan was really hard. However, you will forget all the hardships when u see the wonders of the place. The place was so amazing! We took 2 hours boat ride from the port of Sabang to Caramoan town. We took a boat when we went in every island. Water is so clear. We saw some starfish in white sandy beaches. Caves and lagoons. We did island hopping, camping, kayaking and other activities. We stayed in the rest house of my friend which is located around the area. We took 3 days in exploring the place. I'm looking forward to return visit.
Here are some pictures that we're taken during our vacation here:
