An island paradise in the Pacific emerges like a sparkling beauty never been told and never been touched like a speck of land in an ocean that separated from the mainland, the isolated Ayoke Island of Cantilan, Surigao del Sur. The island from afar seems to come into view in an open blue sea with a neat white line as an embodiment of beauty within the sea because of being a white sand beach in nature. That’s the quality of beaches and rocks islands along the eastern side of Caraga Region.

As you keep nearing the island witness how it was surrounded with turquoise water, and fishes glide above the water from nowhere that you clearly see them with your naked eye. Near the shoreline, probably on the side facing the Pacific Ocean, large waves forming where a quality of the sea that you can view as breaks for surfing activities. An island dominating white sand beaches with some unique rocky formations combined that put you in wonder. The island offers you a peaceful afternoon escape with blue sky hovering over the horizon before sunset glistening the clear water.

A 15-20 minute walk towards the highest peak where the locals call torre (tower) is located. A piece of good advice for tuning up your body and spirit to sweat it out through walking and hiking in the early morning and see the stunning 360-degree amazing view of Ayoke Island.

Ayoke Island is one of the islands and islets along the coastlines in the town of Cantilan. It belongs to the group of islands called Isla Heneral (General Island).
