Nature's best at Agho Island

By Wein P. Gadian

Unrivaled sunrise and sunset. Privacy. White sand beach. And Of course, ipil-ipil trees everywhere.

These are the scenes you will see in Agho Island, a private, eight-hectare island that's situated 30 minutes away from the mainland of Concepcion town.

It is great for snorkeling, fishing, swimming, diving, and even skinny dipping.

There are hiking areas also. One can see Negros island, particularly Manapla town, on the island's highest peak.

Serenity and wild life abound in Agho island.

Guests could have bonfire by the coast, swim all they want, or simply enjoy the sceneries.

Agho Island is blessed with nature's best. The long sandbar changes with the direction of the wind.

When the wind is coming from the amihan, the sandbar is shaped 'C,' and 'U' if it's habagat.

A natural swimming pool forms on the early part of the summer.

The rocks which are partly seen during the high tide are connected to the coral reefs. Guests and visitors get to enjoy the colorful corals and other marine resources.

The famous clown fishes and others are also found on its aquamarine waters.

' Tabon ,' which is a bird specie, inhabit the island. These birds would lay their eggs on the sand for incubation.
