Only a few people know the Potipot Island (as of the time of this writing). It's a great place for soothing and getting some quite moment together with special someone. Imagine this: you can swim, play with star fishes and little crabs, walk around the island in less than an hour; you only hear the tweeting of the birds, the splashing of the sea water to the shore, the blowing' of the wind and the great laughter and stories! A small paradise, isn't it?
Since only a few people go there, the water is so clean that you can actually see the corals and the fishes swimming! Entrance fee to the island is only 50 pesos (yes, you're reading it right, 50 pesos!)
The Island is so small that there are no inns or hotels, restaurants and facilities in the island (There is a small restroom though). I learned though that you can put up your tent and spend the evening there. But if you want to have the comforts of a bed and/or resort, you can stay on the mainland of Dawal, (where we stayed) which is only a 5 minute boat ride from the island.
Potipot is one great place to stopover should you need to escape the busy Manila.
