Kalanggaman island, Samar, Philippines

Kalanggaman Island, also known as Calangaman, is a pristine islet in the Philippines with gorgeous white-sand beaches and crystal clear turquoise water. It’s nearly impossible to put into words how incredibly beautiful this speck of land is. It left me absolutely speechless.

Already the first glimpses of the white sand and abundant coconut trees in the middle of the ocean will give you goose bumps.

After several rounds of jumping into the water and relaxing on the beach, the strong sun will force you into shade. That’s no less pleasant, though, as the coconut palms provide the most beautiful shade.
