Island
Sapa-Sapa, Tawi-Tawi
Panampangan island is a 12-hectare property located in between the municipalities of Panglima Sugala and Sapi Sapi. Though the island is undeniably breathtaking with its white sand and towering palm trees, it still remains to be fairly unvisited by tourists.

During low tide, the island reveals a 3.1-kilometer long sandbar that extends its reach to the neighboring island in the same reef. Wade a few hundred meters offshore and you’ll be greeted by one of the richest marine life you’ll ever see. Sea urchins, turtles, colorful fishes, and pristine corals — still unspoiled.

Today, the island has a few simple huts for visitors looking for a relaxing retreat. It’s managed by a family of friendly locals who will gladly provide you with a delicious feast straight from the sea. The nearest jump-off point is about 24 kilometers away in Panglima Sugala where you can take a two-hour boat ride to the island.“
