Located in Surigao Del Sur, Naked Island is one of the least known places to visit when you hop on to Mindanao. Most tourists arrive at the Island as part of their booked island-hopping experience, but the Island itself deserves more than just a day visit. So, let’s get to know the bareness of Naked Island!

Why The Name?

Naked Island lives up to its name—Naked! It is a 200-meter-long strip of precious white sands in the midst of the Philippine seas. There are no palm or coconut trees to offer shade, and there are no resorts, either; hence, it looks bare. However, the Island is surrounded by beautiful seascapes and corals that you can’t find anywhere else, especially since locals are all for protecting the island’s serenity.

Tips to Enjoy The Bareness of Naked Island

Wear lots of sunscreen

Sunscreen and sunblock will be your best friend when you visit the Island, especially if you prefer to go there when the sun’s high. So, pack on that sunscreen to make sure you won’t get burned since the Island has zero shades to provide you. You can also opt to visit the place early in the morning, avoiding the tourist crowd and enjoying the cold ocean breeze.

The Island has an unbarred view of the sunrise and sunset. This means that you have the chance to enjoy it while munching on some delicious snacks and cold drinks. Some locals even sell fresh seafood that could pair well with a cold lemonade. So, bring that picnic bag along and pack up some sandwiches, drinks, and even a mat for you to lay on.
