Jomalig
Island is located in the north eastern most part of the Quezon Province.
It’s not the typical island that offers white sand but that aspect made it amazingly
unique and interesting to visit. It is known for its golden sand that somehow
got its famous label as “The Golden Island of Quezon”. This island is the
newest attraction to look forward by the beach lover and island hoppers. It
gained its popularity just this year 2016 thru social media pages and blog
articles. The island now has its own stone-made label (JOMALIG ISLAND) situated
in the coastline to welcome the tourists.
Jomalig Island is rich in
Pine Trees (just like in Anawangin, Zambales) and has pristine clear water. The
island is well maintained and not over populated. It’s a place where you can
feel the presence of peace and relaxation with your family and friends. It is
also near in the famous Polillio Group of Islands. It is 6 hours away from its
jump-off area in Real, Quezon.

Transportation Tips (!)
- · The best months to visit Jomalig Island is from March – May because it is summer, the ocean is calm and not that hard for the fishermen to travel with their boats.
- · Better if you’re in a group tour to lessen the expense in availing a boat for island hopping.
- · Don’t worry if you’re hungry but still in the boat, there are meals aboard for the tourists. But don’t expect too much from it and don’t be too picky.
- · Don’t dare to visit the island during rainy season and “Ber” months because of the high waves.
