#25 IN THE WORLD

ONE NARROW SANDBAR BETWEEN TWO SEAS

Kalanggaman Island in the Philippines is known for its long, narrow sandbar that stretches into the open water at both ends. The island itself is a thin strip of white sand, bordered by clear, shallow water on either side with stunning ocean views in every direction. Conditions are typically calm, making it easy to swim along both shores, while the lack of development keeps the setting natural and undisturbed. Accessible only by boat and with limited infrastructure, visitor numbers are naturally kept in check, helping preserve the nature. The shape of the sandbar, combined with the clarity of the water, gives Kalanggaman a distinct character that has earned it a place among the World’s 50 Best Beaches.
