Cannibad Secret Island was my first destination during my summer vacation. It is a white coast beach located at Island Garden city of Samal and about 2 hours if you are travelling from Sta. Ana wharf. This is a great place to get away from a noisy and stressful life in the city. You’ll have to go down a very steep trail before reaching the white sand and the cool blue waters of the beach. It is not a well develop resort so you should expect that there will be no restaurant and bars. There are few stores located at the resort which provides you your basic needs in staying in the resort. It is like staying on a private resort since few people are going on the place. The shore is just about two kilometers with very fine white sand, stones and some big mass of rocks on its ends.
The entrance fee for Cannibad is P25 pesos only and the cottage rental is only P200 pesos. The roundtrip fare may cost about P200 pesos (30 pesos for the bus and 70 pesos for the motorcycle). While we were on the resort, we also rented a small boat (bangka) which cost about P100 pesos per hour. As of now, they are having renovations and improvements on the resort. They already have few rooms available for stay-in costumers.
