The Matukad Island is special among the
other islands of Caramoan group of islets because it is guarded by a majestic creature; plus it has a long stretch of fine white sand, crystalline water, surrounded by greeneries and the wind is delicate, cool and fresh.
Instead of renting an air-conditioned room at Brgy. Paniman, we camped by the
beach and stayed here for about twelve hours, enjoying its goodness.
It's me on my pabida
pose, with the lagoon on the background.
As mentioned above, referring to the mystical creature,
Caramoan also has its own story. According to the locals, there were two
Bangus living in the lagoon, however, there was a person who caught one
of them and he died. After the story circulated in the area, no one ever touches the
remaining bangus in the said lagoon.
The photo above was taken
on the top of the lagoon showing the other side of the Matukad beach. The water is clear, the rock formations are amazing, the shoreline has fine white sand, and Wow, this island is such a paradise.
