Sumilon Island

Sumilon Island is honestly one of the most beautiful places I have visited. The water is unbelievably clear, and the sandbar looks different depending on the tide, which makes it feel magical every time. The island is peaceful, clean, and perfect if you want a break from the usual crowded spots. I loved the mix of relaxing views and activities — swimming, walking around the island, and just enjoying the quiet. It is a bit pricey to get there, but the experience is absolutely worth it. I would go back in a heartbeat.

Similon Island was an absolute paradise! We had the most amazing time snorkeling and swimming in the crystal-clear waters. The visibility was incredible, allowing us to fully enjoy the vibrant marine life and coral reefs. The water was so pristine, and the colors were breathtaking, making it a perfect spot for both relaxation and adventure. The beach was serene and peaceful, with soft white sand and calm waters—ideal for a leisurely swim or simply lounging in the sun. Our family had a blast, and the kids especially loved exploring the underwater world. If you're looking for a peaceful, beautiful escape with some of the clearest waters you can imagine, Similon Island is definitely the place to be. Highly recommended!

If you're not staying in the resort, the whole island is a scam. 600 for the boat, 100 to go snorkeling, 1500 to access any of the resort area (which is basically the whole island) and the rest is just a small beach with nothing to do. They charge 1500 extra for a drone, so I'm surprised that breathing the air here is for free.

Sumilon Island is truly a tropical paradise that feels like an escape from the busy world. The island is known for its powdery white sandbar that changes shape depending on the tide, and it’s honestly one of the most beautiful natural sights I’ve ever seen. The water is crystal clear with stunning shades of blue, perfect for swimming, snorkeling, or just lounging by the shore. What makes Sumilon even more special is the marine sanctuary. If you love snorkeling, you’ll enjoy the colorful corals and variety of fish that make the underwater scene so alive. The island also offers hiking trails, a lighthouse, and a lagoon, so there’s more to do than just beach bumming. It can get a little crowded during peak hours, but if you go early, you can really enjoy the peaceful and pristine vibe of the island. Whether you’re visiting as part of a whale shark tour in Oslob or just making the trip for the island itself, Sumilon is absolutely worth it. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to stay longer.

Nice beach. Good for snorkeling. Would've been perfect if they offer boodle fight

A sandbar with crystal clear water to swim, many day trips stop here for 30min to swim but you can’t go further than the beach

The trip going to the island in included in our tour package. Love the boat ride. The sand is so white and waters very clear. Its not that crowded during weekdays. The area is small but beautiful. This is a must see when in Cebu. Bring drinks and snack. Also sun protection since no shade in the swimming area.

Nice water adventure experience like snorkeling etc.. Island organiser are focused to the safety of visitors from safety orientation, boat transfers to actual island. Alway bring your bottled water and sunscreen. No store at the island.
