Experience the tranquility of the island of Camotes. Sugar white sand beaches beckon the soul to relax. Nearby caves offer an interesting adventure to any traveler and an island that boast of a bountiful marine life. Camotes lies 33 nautical miles northeast of Cebu City. The four towns offer something different: Poro with its rich history and unique spoken language, Tudela its cave systems, Pilar its old houses and charming coastal villages and San Francisco its vibrant commerce and stunning beaches. In 1521, Magellan and his men had dropped anchor in Camotes Sea on the way to plant Spain’s Cross in Cebu. Camotes is vibrant, progressive and confident in the coming global network of trade and tourism. Yet, it has tradition, rhythm and above all, a human face.           TOURIST DESTINATIONS
