Discover the Beauty of the Land of Gold
Calaguas is a group of islands located in the municipality of Mercedes, Camarines Norte. It is considered one of the most beautiful and least commercialized island destinations in the Philippines. The main beach, Mahabang Buhangin (Long Beach), features fine white sand and clear turquoise water.
Because there is no electricity or cellular signal in most parts of Calaguas, it is the perfect place to disconnect from technology and enjoy nature.
To reach Calaguas, you need to travel to the municipality of Mercedes in Camarines Norte. From Mercedes, you take a motorized boat (bangka) to the island. The boat ride takes about 1.5 to 2 hours depending on sea conditions. It is advisable to arrange your boat ride in advance with a local tour organizer.
