Higatangan Island Sandbar

The long strip is most exposed around low tide and becomes smaller as the tide rises. Visitors should check the local Biliran tide schedule because the usable width and connection toward the nearby islet change throughout the day.

Higatangan lies off Naval in Biliran province and is reached by boat rather than by a road bridge. Local passenger boats and arranged transfers commonly depart from the Naval area.

No, tides can cover sections of the bar and create stronger water movement around its edges. Walking is safest while the strip is clearly exposed, with enough time to return before the incoming tide.

Its appearance varies along the strip and can include pale sand, crushed coral, shells, and coarser material. Water level, weather, and recent wave action can make it look different from promotional photographs.
