Shimizu Island

Shimizu Island, a pocket-sized gem in the Philippines near El Nido, is framed by jagged karst formations that rise like flying buttresses. The island’s slender, pale gold beaches are complemented by sculptural rock formations and gin-clear waters, making it an ideal spot for snorkeling. Beneath the surface, colorful coral reefs teem with marine life, while small caves and slithering monitor lizards on land add to the island’s adventurous, Lost World feel. Easily accessible from the popular Secret Lagoon, Shimizu Island offers a blend of natural beauty and exploration.
