One of the best beaches in Biliran!
It has a beautiful white sand. Some parts of the island have an overlooking view of the Maripipi island and the Masbate island (if I'm not mistaken).
If you want to go the island you can rent a boat with a capacity of 17 person from Kawayan port, which only costs 200 pesos each. From kawayan port, it's a 45 minutes to 1hour travel. Be also aware of the waves during habagat season.
Its entrance fee only costs 100 pesos and 1500 for the nipa hut style cottages. The electric power source of the island is a generator which opens from 6pm and closes to 10pm. Make sure you charged your phones and cameras!
If you want to have a full experience of the island, I suggest an overnight stay.

Place is a one-hour boat travel away from the main island of Biliran. It was cloudy and drizzling at times when we went there on May 27, 2022.
Sambawan Island has uneven sand that is almost yellowish/brownish. Some parts of the shore have corals and were rocky. I really enjoyed looking at the turquoise blue sea water which was even more obvious when you look at it from the hilltop. View from the deck is magnificent. I suggest you find time to go up the hill before sunset or during sunrise.
Our group stayed there overnight in the hut that we rented. They also provided beds and pillows.
Note that clean water is scarce and not accessible. We paid Php40 per gallon just for the caretaker to fetch water for you. Electricity is also limited so charge your phones before 10pm or better yet, bring your power bank.
Despite having no electricity, I fell asleep easily as the sea breeze blew continuously during the night.

Beautiful remote island! It’s just hard to get there from the mainland and the electricity was not working when we were there but it was very peaceful.

Breathtaking view of the island on the top of the hill. This place is very relaxing just lie down on the sand, swim in the beach, trek going to the top of the hill, watch the sea birds fly, and enjoy the view. I enjoyed the serenity of this place, away from the bustling noise of the metropolis. The water in the ocean was very clear. I hope this place will maintain the simplicity and natural beauty so that many tourists will feel the simple vacation in the island.

When visiting the island, it is recommended that you stay overnight to fully enjoy its pristine underwater. There is more to this island, than the picturesque view on top of the hill.

We went here last Feb 23 til 24. The island was kept clean, the people are so accommodating, the prices of the food and other goods are reasonable. The hut, and water supply is comfortable and fresh. However, don't go here when it's already late unless you want to brave huge waves! But its a paradise worth visiting! Just that the water when we wen there was itchy we weren't able to snorkle or a long time.

Perfect summer getaway to experience the beauty of nature that speaks of The Creator.

Place is amazingly beautiful, quiet and nice sunset.
Rock formations and a overlooking view deck also it's nice to explore the whole island by walking around. Food is not so bad for my standard I'm a filipina and I'm not fussy, they only sell canned goods and noodles some chips and cookies, water and soda.
No electricity at day time and you can rent a tent for 500 and a Room for 2 for 1500 and family room for 2500.

Superb island and staff. They cooked my veggies for minimal fee. I had to chase the cook to pay him. When ever i want to pay for something they say "Later, no problem". Seems like they care more for this island and their guests than profit. I feel a lot of love and positive energy. Honest, kind, professional, relaxed and helpful staff. Lots of plastic trash around island, main part is clean tho. I had a great time and will come back. Thank you.

ONE OF THE BEST BEACHES I'VE EVER BEEN TO! Nice and accommodating staff. Awesome sceneries and the water is really clear. Great for snorkeling, kayaking, swimming, and camping. A bit pricey compared to Kalanggaman Island, but it's worth it.

This place is gorgeous! I drove 3 hours and then took a one-hour boat ride together there, and it was well worth it! Take your camera, your bathing suit, and a few snacks, and get ready to be stunned.

Always loving this place. Where you can find serenity of a beach with amazing mountain that makes you get the attention of your eyes by its beauty. A remote island where signal for internet is good also.
