The experience on the island can vary depending on a number of factors. Some people go a stay in the resorts. There can be large numbers at times which can be annoying. And then of course the tide times make a difference. At low tide you can see the full sandbar in all it's spectacular glory but at higher tide this is fully submerged in the water. Either way you can still enjoy activities and and around the water. And the scenery and colour of the water is stunning.

Truly one of the finest sandbars in the world! However, no shady area where you can take a little shade from the scorching sun. Best to bring your sunscreen to avoid sun burn while you enjoy the sun’s kiss. #givethanks

The Philippine niche and beautiful island resort
Sumilon is a small island with few tourists. Even a spa in the infinity pool or a spa with unrivalled sea views is a great holiday experience.
We went after seeing the whale shark in oslob in the morning. At 11 o'clock in the afternoon, we had a meal at the beach and other buffets. The aroma of the barbecue fluttered. The buffet lunch is mainly Western-style, and there are also live cooking barbecued crabs. Head plates, staple foods, and snacks are all available. After lunch, I took a rest next to the pool. The pool was very deep, and the one-meter-eight people near the edge of the room couldnt step on it.
There are snorkeling gear here, the beach and the water quality are very good, but there are a lot of corals underneath, it is best to wear flippers or diving socks to prevent cuts on the soles of the feet.
[Traffic] When you arrive at oslob, you can take the electric tricycle to the exclusive dock of the sumilon blue island resort, then take the hotel's crab boat to the island. The first boat on the island is 8am every day. The last boat on the island is 4:30 pm
[price] The island belongs to the sumilon bluewater island resort. The room needs to be booked in advance. The tent is about 1000 RMB a night and the room is about 2,000 RMB. Non-residents can also take part in a day trip to Whale Shark and Sumilong Island, including round-trip ferry tickets, buffet lunch at Sumilon Hotel, a towel, snorkeling, life jackets, and swimming pool access.

Calming waves in Sumilon Island
After our breathtaking magical experience with Snorkeling with the Whalesharks in Oslob, just a hop on a jeepney and a 10 minute boat ride, we arrived in Sumilon Island.
The beach is crystal clear and the waves are very calming!

Travel to the fullest 😉
Jobs fill your pocket, but adventures fill your soul. Travel takes us out of our comfort zones and inspires us to see, taste and try new things. It constantly challenges us, not only to adapt to and explore new surroundings, but also to engage with different people, to embrace adventures as they come and to share new and meaningful experiences with friends and loved ones.#travel_lover #beach

🇵🇭Sumilon Island 🏖️- all you need to know🇵🇭
The island is only a 15-20 minute 🚤boat ride from Oslob.🏖️ We went to beautiful Sumilon Island for a few hours. It is just a sandbar to chill or take nice pictures.📷 The sand was some of the whitest I had seen so far in the Philippines and contrasted beautifully against the clear water and surrounding reefs. If you want to see the inner part of the island you will need to pay 2000-2500p for the resort. This is a great spot to hang out for the afternoon, make sure to bring your own drinks and food, there are no shops/bars.
💲We paid the boat 500 Php per person + 50 Php environmental fee.

Sumilon Island Sand bar
Sumilon is a beautiful island in the southeastern tip of Cebu. Known for its crystal clear water and pristine white sands, Sumilon is a must-visit destination on your trip to the Philippines. The 24-hectare coral island is home to the luxurious Bluewater Sumilon Island Resort. You don’t really need to book a stay at the resort to enjoy the island. Simply take a 20 minute boat ride from Oslob and spent as much time as you like relaxing, swimming or snorkeling at this gorgeous island. If you book a return boat, you can hop back on the boat any time back to Oslob. The boat comes and goes every 20 minutes in both directions. And of course, you can bring your own food and drinks but do pack a hat and plenty of sunscreen cos you’re gonna want to spend a while at this paradise!

Luka Coffee in Oslob ☕️
Luka coffee shop offers best tasting snacks and beverages. The view faced both mountains and ocean. You can see the Sumilon Island 🏝 directly from the coffee shop. We’ve been there to celebrate an intimate and special occasion. It is recommendable to celebrate a date and snacktime bonding with your friends or even to your special someone. 😊
If you’re coffee lover and sunset lover as well, Luka Coffee Shop is the best place to visit.#coffeeshop #foodie #bucketlistreboot #beachlife

On the small island of Sumilon, I sat in a whole sea. This is an island with only one hotel, but it is wonderful. Drinking beer at the sea to watch the sunset at sunset, the island is one step at a time, you can walk slowly or ride a bicycle, and leisurely stay for two days is the best choice. If not, how many round-trip crab boats there are? You can ride there.

is the top ten place in the Philippines! Don't lose sacks at all!
The island has only one resort hotel, the typical one island one hotel feels. The whole island takes only 30-40 minutes to walk a week, which is a feeling of paradise.
is a relatively recommended small island, his opposite is the Duma Gai ~

It takes 15 minutes by boat from OSLOB Island to Sumilon Island, and the scenery is beautiful! Sumilon Island, an island off the coast of Oslob, on the southeast coast of Cebu, is the Philippines' first marine life reserve. The whole island takes only 30-40 minutes to walk a week, which is a feeling of paradise.
Azaleas bloom in full bloom, coconut palms, infinity pools... Maybe just sit quietly and listen to the tropical nature, even if its a next year, even a day worth it . #
