Catanduanes Island

It has a long string of palm-fringed beaches and deep blue waters against a backdrop of luxuriant grassy mountains, and a totally laid-back rural charm and crowned with jewel-like island. The whole strip of this pearly island of the Pacific is almost untouched, unblemished, and unexplored.
