Have you ever been to Cebu? If you visit Cebu, you must experience Camotes. Camotes is an island in Cebu with stunning beaches and rich nature. The island is made up of three connected islands, namely Pilar, Poro and San Francisco.Pilar has the famous Guiwanon Cave. You must go inside the cave to see a ray from the bright sun.
The middle island is Poro. It is the best place to stay since you can enjoy experiencing the countryside life but still see shops and a few bars. My favorite island in Camotes is the lovely San Francisco. It has a very long white sand beach. You can set up your tents on the beach, stay overnight and sleep to the sound of the fine waves.
