Summer has just started and if you don’t have any idea to where is the best place to travel trip, I guess I can hardly recommend the Province of Sorsogon in Bicol as there are a hundred reason why to put Sorsogon in your travel bucket list.
First on the list is the Paguriran Island in Brgy. Sawanga, Bacon District, Sorsogon City it is one of the most accessible travel trip location in the province as it is near its city proper. Our travel trip on Paguriran was not so lucky because it was high tide that morning and we were not able to see and walk the sandbar going to the island lagoon. Instead we cross the seawater which is a bit higher than we've expected.

The seawater is cold and getting higher and the sun above us is getting warmer as we started crossing the clear water but the view of the island from afar never fails us to get mesmerize by its beauty. How much more if we reach it? It took almost five minutes of trekking to reach the island lagoon and as we are all expecting, it was a piece of paradise on this planet.
From afar, it is like a group of island of rock formation but the island is in fact made up of large corals. At the center is the picturesque enclosed lagoon at the vastness of the sea which is much like a volcano crater that adds to its natural beauty, the clear water of the lagoon will just attract you to take a dive.

We got soaked but that never disappoint us because the island itself will calm you down by its enchanting beauty. At the top of the island all I can say is that it was such a wonderful sight. The sky was quite cloudy that morning in the part where you can view the Mayon Volcano not so lucky to hit a shot of the two top destinations at one.
The view from the top of the rock formation will give you the full view of the Sawanga Beach, coastline and the mangroves on the other side you will get to see other islet and rock formation plus the blue waters of the Pacific Ocean.

Swimming and snorkelling inside the enclosed lagoon is among the top activity in the area, but if you are adventurous enough you can try cliff diving as there are spots good for diving in the area.
You need to be extra careful in climbing the island as the rocks surrounding it were so sharp and slippery that may give you bruises and wounds specially during high tide. You need to secure a safe set of slippers for your safety.
There are cottages for rent in the beach where you can view the beautiful islet. You can also rent or bring your own tent to camp in the beach for those who wanted to stay overnight.
