Fine sand that strong winds can blow it .. turquoise clear water and rock formations like Palawan. Climbing on the laggon is not that easy, we're glad we both wearing sandals to protect our feet for that sharp rocks just to see the bangus. We camped overnight here with 1 gallon of water to rinse ourselves, suman and left over... More

This island has very fine sand, which is comparable to Boracay's! However, out of all the islands we visited in Caramoan, this one seems to attract a lot of crowd so we opted not to stay too long.

Powder dust sand.. Pristine water.. Unspoiled island.. Breathtaking view from the top ..overlooking a small lagoon.. Words are not really enough to express and describe the place.. You should go and check it out yourself...

There was quite a crowd, so we didn't linger much. It's not as easy as it looks, with the climbing the top to see a lagoon.

We came not really knowing what to expect and found breathtakingly beautiful beaches, islands and cliffs. This area is still relatively undeveloped and not over run with tourists yet. Most visitors are locals not many foreigners. Be assured this will change. Now is the time to visit

Matukad Island is definitely one of the best islands in Caramoan that you should not miss. The water is crystal clear and the sand is powdery white. This place is perfect for camping, swimming and photoshoot... On this island, there is a cliff that you can climb where you'll see a hidden lagoon with a big milkfish which is believed... More

Wonderful beach with fine sand and it was quite near the resort. Great for camping, picnics and games. The water was clean and clear and the shore wasn't rocky. Perfect for swimming!

I can easily run from one end of the beach to the other in one minute, thats how short it is or does it go around? There are good shady trees, some with pineapple look-alike fruits which I believe is a favorite of coconut crabs, but I did not see any crab! Well, the younger ones can easily scale the... More

I highly advise visiting Matukad Island when you visit Caramoan. The beach is really nice and is great to swim at. If you climb the big rock you can get an amazing view (and photos!). The water is nice, clean, and warm (like the other islands). When we went, there were quite a few people there- more than any other... More
