The Calaguas islands is a group of islands located in the province of Camarines Norte. It includes the major islands of Tinaga and Guintinua which belong to the town of Vinzons and the minor island of Maculabo which is part of Paracale. There are still several other small islands within the area. But the well-known beach is on Tinaga Island called Mahabang Buhangin. Undoubtedly, the crystal waters and the powdery white sand of Mahabang Buhangin can be classified as world class. Because of its distance it is only fairly recent that a good number of resorts have started springing up on the island. The travel time by boat is two hours from Paracale which is the usual port of departure. When we toured around the towns of Camarines Norte we made sure that we included Calaguas in the itinerary. We were able to rent a native cottage which was very much cheap compared to the other resorts for our overnight stay in the island.
