Beach life in Olango Island
Olango Island is as much a great retreat for tourists as it is for migratory birds. Though surrounded by the sea, there are only a few popular beaches on the island, such as Shalala Beach, which is situated on the southern tip of the island. To have the best time on the island, it would be best to avoid vacationing in the rainy season, which runs from May to December.
Olango Island is famous for its floating restaurants, especially those off the coast of Caw-Oy. The eateries offer delicious seafood and amazing views.
