Siquijor Beaches
Siquijor is home to some of the most beautiful beaches in the Philippines, plus a scenic sunset that will leave you in awe. Here are the top 4 Siquijor beaches that you should visit:
1. Paliton Beach 🌊

Paliton Beach is a secluded beach located in San Juan, Siquijor. It is known for its crystal-clear waters, white sand, and stunning sunset views.
The first time I went here was the last day of 2023 and I was so glad that we drove here even though we drove about 24km from our initial point to catch the sunset.
The beach is perfect for swimming and sunbathing. No wonder why I saw a lot of foreign tourists here.
The beach screams calm and serenity in the twilight light. It was truly an enchanting moment to wrap up the year for me.

2. Salagdoong Beach 🌊

A popular beach destination in Siquijor, Salagdoong Beach is known for its turquoise waters, white sand, and towering rock formations.
The beach is perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and cliff jumping.
I’ve only been here once during my college year and since that was my exploration days, I’ve tried jumping off the cliff but epically failed to land on the waters properly. My back hurts after that!

Going here, you will pass by the path with lots of molave trees. It was like being transported to another place and the clean air makes it so much better.
Unfortunately, on my second visit, they were doing some renovations so it was close to the public, but it just opened again so tourists can now explore the beach solo or with their loved ones.
3. Kagusuan Beach 🌊
Kagusuan Beach is a hidden gem and a premier destination for those who are visiting Siquijor.
It has fine white sand and clear aquamarine waters, tall coconut trees, rock formations dotting different parts, and a vibe of middle-of-nowhere ambiance.
The beach is located along the coastline of Maria, Siquijor southeast part of the island, and is best seen during sunrise, when the sun breaks the darkness of night.
Kagusuan Beach has a rough and charming appeal with its powdery sand, rock formations, and even its rough seas (depending on the season).
The beach may be difficult to get to, but the effort it takes to get there is worth it.
4. San Juan Beach 🌊

Can’t get enough of the Siquijor beaches? San Juan Beach is a long stretch of white sand beach located in San Juan, Siquijor.
It is known for its calm waters, beautiful sunset views, and laid-back atmosphere.
A lot of good places to stay in Siquijor can be found here. We even stayed at a budget place around the area that has facility access to another known resort.
The beach is perfect for swimming when high tide, sunbathing, and beach volleyball. There are also a lot of things to do here including snorkeling at Tubod Marine Sanctuary.
It was a bummer that during our entire stay on the island, we didn’t have the chance to swim on any beach that we visited. I know, it was ironic.

Siquijor Waterfalls
Siquijor is also home to some of the most beautiful waterfalls in the Philippines. Here are the top 4 waterfalls or Siquijor falls that you should visit:
5. Cambugahay Falls 🏞

I think Cambugahay Falls is one of the popular Siquijor tourist spots even for first-time time visitors.
This is a three-tiered waterfall located in Lazi, Siquijor, and known for its turquoise waters, natural pools, human drones, and rope swings.
The waterfall is a hidden gem tucked away in the lush green landscape of Siquijor that is perfect for swimming, relaxing, Tarzan swing, and experiencing human drone videos and captures.

It is easily accessible from the main tourist area where visitors can take a dip in the pool, or climb up the tiers and explore the area.
There is a rope swing at the top of the falls for those looking for an adrenaline rush and huge planks floating where you can ask a tour guide to take pictures of you.

I did the rope swing twice on my first visit and on my second visit, my friends and I opted for a group photo at the floating plank.
If you don’t mind the steep stairs that will challenge your lower body strength, this is definitely a must-visit destination on your next Siquijor trip.
6. Lugnason Falls 🏞
Lugnason Falls, also known as Zodiac Falls, is a three-tier waterfall located in San Juan, Siquijor Island.
The falls are accessible by scooter, habal-habal, or tricycle, and the trail to the falls is marked and takes around 15 minutes to walk through the forest.
The falls cascade into a crisp and clean teal-green swimming hole and are set in a beautiful rainforest in San Juan province.
The drop is slightly less than 10 meters high, and at the drop’s foot, it forms a pool some 10 meters across.
The falls are full of refreshing crystal blue water, and the walk down from the car park is an easy 10-minute trek, making it completely suitable for all fitness levels.
The entrance fee to Lugnason Falls is free, though you may be asked to pay a small parking fee of 10 pesos.
When you arrive at the Google Maps pin location, you’ll have to park your scooter on the side of the road and head down the trail from here.
7. Lagaan Falls 🏞
Still located in the Lazi region on Siquijor Island, Lagaan Falls is a stunning waterfall that is surrounded by a dense rainforest canopy, which makes the hike to the falls more enjoyable.
The trail is marked, and it takes around 15 minutes to walk to the falls. The falls have several features that make them a must-see during your visit including swimming holes, rope swings, rock jumps, and small caves.
The turquoise blue water is also perfect for swimming and the natural slide and rope swing add to the fun. You can visit this hidden gem with an entrance fee of 50 pesos and a parking fee of 10 pesos.
8. Locong Falls 🏞

The Lazi municipality has been blessed with an abundance of falls and an addition to this is the Locong Falls.
A small waterfall cascades into a natural blue pool with transparent water and is surrounded by jungle, making it a perfect spot to relax and unwind.
Locong Falls is not a popular waterfall in Siquijor, so you can go at any time of day and not find any other tourists.
We went here after lunch and during our visit, there were only 5 tourists at most each time.

This Siquijor tourist spot is perfect if you want to avoid the crowd and photobombers from the neighboring falls such as the Siquijor Cambugahay Falls and still experience the same thrill and view.
The trail is also easier because it’s not too steep and if you want, a local tour guide can also go with you, and the entrance fee is only Php 50.
More Siquijor Attractions
Apart from the Siquijor beaches and waterfalls, Siquijor is also home to other attractions that you should visit. Here are the top 9 attractions that you should visit:
9. Cantabon Cave 🪨
Cantabon Cave is a must-visit destination for tourists in Siquijor. It is a limestone cave located in the central part of the island, in the Barangay of Cantabon.
The cave is known for its natural pools, stalactites, and stalagmites. It is perfect for spelunking and exploring, and it is an adventurous trail inside a pitch-black cave beneath the earth.
Local guides lead visitors into this unique Siquijor tourist spot from a small hole in the ground, local.
Hundreds of stalactites hang from the cave roof, and a stream of fresh water flows through Cantabon Cave, creating natural swimming pools in this underrated destination in Siquijor.
Cantabon Cave is an impressive 800-meter-long cave with an underground river and stunning formations of white rocks, flowstones, columns, stalactites, and stalagmites.
It is a good addition to your Siquijor itinerary as it is one of the most visited tourist destinations in Siquijor Island, Philippines.
10. Tulapos Marine Sanctuary 🐟
Tulapos Marine Sanctuary is the oldest marine sanctuary in Siquijor, established in 1986. It covers over 14 hectares of beaches, mangrove forests, coral reefs, and shorelines.
Compared to other marine sanctuaries, Tulapos Marine Sanctuary is home to a diverse range of marine life, including jackfishes, schools of barracudas, sea turtles, giant clams, and sometimes blacktip reef sharks.
You can rent snorkeling gear from the makeshift building at the entrance and pay a fee for snorkeling and a guide.
During high tide, you can swim to the rocky part to start your snorkeling journey to see the barracudas. During low tide, you can walk past the shallow waters.
After the shallow part, you will pass by a rocky portion, so you should be extra careful of the sharp rocks. Aqua shoes are recommended to avoid hurting feet.
The guide will help you to reach the barracudas and in just a few minutes, you can see the jackfishes and barracudas.
On my next visit to Siquijor, this will be my main goal – to visit and swim as many marine sanctuaries as I can fit on my itinerary. Hopefully, I’ll have enough reserve energy by then.
11. Old Enchanted Balete Tree 🌳

Other than waterfalls, Lazi, Siquijor also boasts one of Siquijor tourist spots which is The Old Enchanted Balete Tree – a 400-year-old balete tree located in Barangay Campalanas, Lazi.
It is one of the oldest balete trees in the country and is known for its gargantuan size and bizarre looks. The tree has become a popular tourist spot for curious tourists who are visiting Siquijor province.
It is shrouded by lush roadside greenery and has long vines hanging like hair from its outstretched branches.
Some locals believe that the tree is home to mythical and scary creatures, such as kapre and engkanto. The tree is located in a natural spring, and some locals claim to have seen serpents coming from inside the hole.
Visitors can also dip their feet in the water while fish feed on the dead skin of their soles. It’s ticklish at first but you’ll get used to it.
This Siquijor tourist destination also has a souvenir shop where you can buy potions, shirts, caps, amulets, and other accessories.
12. Lazi Church and Convent ⛪

The San Isidro Labrador Parish Church or Lazi Church is a Roman Catholic church located in the municipality of Lazi, Siquijor, Philippines.
It was established in 1857 by the Augustinian Recollects and became an independent parish in the same year under the advocacy of Saint Isidore the Laborer.
It is a Baroque-style structure and is among the Baroque Churches of the Philippines list submitted by the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) to UNESCO as a candidate for a World Heritage Site.
The church complex is also home to one of the oldest and biggest convents in the country, which was built in 1887.
The design elements are seen in most parts of the structure even though most of the partitions of the convent have been removed.

The church and convent are listed as a National Historical Landmark due to their religious, historical, and architectural importance, not only to the province of Siquijor but to the entire Philippines.
You can also visit this Siquijor tourist attraction before or after visiting Cambugahay Falls or other nearby Siquijor tourist spots.
13. Siquijor Butterfly Garden 🦋

Siquijor Butterfly Garden or Siquijor Butterfly Sanctuary is a charming and picturesque butterfly sanctuary located in Cang-apa, Siquijor.
The garden is run by the passionate and friendly owner, Dante Jumapit, who is known for his love and knowledge of butterflies.
We were lucky to get a chance to converse with him during our visit and I was amazed at how passionate he is about this project even though there may be a lot of challenges along the way.
The garden is home to a variety of colorful and gorgeous butterflies that are produced from Jumapit’s butterfly garden.
It is beautifully designed with manicured plants and is maintained in a netted area that allows the butterflies to freely roam.

Although relatively small, the garden is one of the popular Siquijor tourist spots and is often visited by both local and foreign tourists.
Visitors can also take photographs of the beautiful specimens.
The entrance fee is minimal, Php 100, and there is a donation box for those who wish to support the conservation project.
If you’re planning to visit Siquijor, the Butterfly Garden is definitely worth a stop.
14. Siquijor Marine Sanctuaries 🐟

Siquijor has several marine sanctuaries that are worth exploring other than Tulapos Marine Sanctuary. One of them is Tubod Marine Sanctuary, located in the town of San Juan.
It is a popular spot for snorkeling and diving, with a wide variety of fish species, corals, and other marine creatures.
The sanctuary is also home to a giant clam nursery, where visitors can see these fascinating creatures up close.

Another popular marine sanctuary in Siquijor is the Caticugan Marine Sanctuary. Located near the northwestern tip of the island, it was legally established in 2003 through Municipal Ordinance 415 – 2003.
This marine sanctuary is managed by the Caticugan Fishers Association and Caticugan Marine Management Council.
Other Siquijor marine sanctuaries that you can visit are Paliton Marine Sanctuary, Talayong Marine Sanctuary, Olang Marine Sanctuary, and Binoongan Marine Sanctuary.
15. Pitogo Cliff 🏞️

A newly discovered tourist spot in Siquijor, Pitogo Cliff is a beautiful natural wonder located on the southwestern side of the Island, facing the breathtaking Sulu Sea.
The cliffside gets its name from the Pitogo trees that grow in the area.
For Php 30 entrance fee, the cliff offers a panoramic view of the vast ocean and the endless sky. Visitors can go cliff diving and swim in the sea, or enjoy the view of the area, especially during sunset.
There is a stairway that leads down to the cliff, where visitors can take photos.
However, there are currently no proper railings to hold onto, and the steps might be slippery. So being extra cautious while descending the stairs is advisable.
(UPDATE: The railings are already installed so anyone can reach the edge with ease!)

I didn’t try to descend on my last visit but on my next visit, I’ll definitely go down and try to jump and swim here. Hopefully!
16. Mount Bandilaan ⛰️
Mount Bandilaan is a protected area located in the heart of Siquijor Island.
The park covers an area of approximately 244 hectares and is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna, as well as several cultural and historical landmarks.
It is the highest peak in Siquijor, rising to 557 meters above sea level, and it is perfect for hiking, birdwatching, and taking 360-degree view photos of the island.
If you plan to visit the park, be aware that the road leading to it is steep and some parts of the road are not well-developed.
It is not advisable to visit the park in the late afternoon, especially if you are not used to the place, due to the tall trees along the way and the lack of proper road railing.
It is also not recommended to visit the park during rainy weather, as the road may not be safe and the abundance of moss may cause a slippery journey that may lead to an accident.
Passing Mount Bandilaan Park was my first time driving on a steep road, and this was a memorable experience for me where I can say that I’m proud of my driving skills. 🫣
You’ll know and understand me when you visit this Siquijor tourist spot.
In addition to its natural beauty, Mount Bandilaan is also the source of various medicinal trees and plants used by the traditional or folk healers of the island.
It is also the venue of the famous “Pahi-uli”: Siquijor Healing Festival celebrated during the Holy Week.
17. Siquijor Triangular Landmark 🚩

Definitely not the least but the first thing that you see when you arrive in Isla del Fuego.
The Siquijor Triangular Landmark is a triangular-shaped monument located in the town of Siquijor, Siqujor.
Just outside the Siquijor Port, the landmark is made of concrete and is painted in vibrant colors, making it a popular spot for tourists to take photos.
The landmark is also a great place to learn about the history and culture of the island, as there are many informative plaques and signs located around the monument.
If you’re planning a trip to Siquijor, be sure to add the Siquijor Triangular Landmark first thing in your itinerary.
BONUS: Healer

Siquijor is also known for its traditional healers or “mananambal” in the local language. These healers use natural remedies and rituals to cure various ailments.
This may not be one of the Siquijor tourist spots mentioned above but this is a great experience to do while you’re in Isla del Fuego.
These healers practice traditional healing methods that have been passed down through generations.
The island’s reputation as a mystical place has attracted many tourists who are interested in the local culture and traditions.
If you’re interested in traditional healing, you can visit one of the healers in Siquijor. The last time we visited the island, we were lucky enough to find a healer on the road. Literally!
We made a stop in the middle of the road and asked the next motorcycle rider who passed by where we could go to find a Siquijor Healer.
What are the chances that we were conversing with one? Mind you, the healer is even the one who supplies the healing potions displayed at the Old Enchanted Balete Tree!

The island’s traditional healers are also known for their ability to perform spiritual healing, which is believed to be effective in treating both physical and emotional illnesses.
The healers gather during Holy Week at the sacred foot of Mt. Bandilaan to celebrate the Folk Healing Festival which showcases the traditional healing methods of the mananambals and is a testament to the island’s rich cultural heritage.
The island’s reputation as the “Island of Witches” dates back to Spanish colonization and trade during the 1660s.
As the main route for trade and merchandise in the Visayas back then, during the voyage of many Spaniards, crew members of the ships started feeling ill and had to drop by to the nearest island.
The Spaniards asked the locals to do all they could to cure their crew.
But upon discovering the Siquijor traditional healing process, the Spaniards distanced themselves from the so-called sorceries and ‘witches,’ and dubbed the island as the ‘Island of Witches’.
