Cagbalete Island is a quiet island getaway that has been rising in popularity among backpackers and budget travelers. Located just off the coast of Mauban town proper in Quezon just a few hours from Manila, this island offers beautiful beachfront campsites and a wide white-sand beach. It’s not a place for partygoers, but more for nature tripping. Don’t expect five-star resorts or lots of dining options. Despite its proximity to Manila, Cagbalete Island still feels laid-back and remote. There’s still no electricity here, which makes it great for communing with nature and beach camping. #newphotographer#merrychristmas#scenicspotguide#unforgettableexperiences#decembertravel#instagramworthydestinations#holidayvacation#tripinspired#happynewyear
