Romblon: Next Stop | Travel Guide to Romblon, Tablas, and Sibuyan Island (Philippines)
blog: ROMBLON: 8 Awesome Places You Should Visit in Romblon!
Welcome to ROMBLON! The Marble Capital of the Philippines, home to the “Galapagos of Asia” (Sibuyan) and the cleanest river in the Country.
Romblon is composed of three major islands that one must visit–Romblon Town, Tablas Island, and Sibuyan Island.
The province’s marble is comparable to the world’s best. Trade plays a big role in Romblon’s economy by virtue of its location at the center of the archipelago.
The islands are blessed with natural playgrounds such as beaches, rivers, mountains, and diverse eco-systems, which offer tourists many opportunities for adventures like scuba, trekking, and snorkeling.
Here’s Team OAP’s Top 8 favorites in their Romblon adventure…
1. Cresta De Gallo Islet (Sibuyan Island)
Romblon: Sibuyan Island
When asked what’s the most beautiful attraction to see in Romblon, locals would point to Crest De Gallo. A five-hectare kidney-shaped islet located east of Sibuyan Island. Known for its picturesque views, powder white sands and turquoise waters. The island is almost secluded except for one fisher family living there.
Romblon: Sibuyan Island
I just love how we got the whole island all to ourselves.
2. Marble Shopping Center (Romblon, Romblon)
The marble sourced in Romblon, Romblon is at par with the world’s best, with export quality material giving it high value to sculptures and builders around the world.
What makes its special is that the Romblon marbles are mature making it very tough, unlike the Bulacan version that has the tendency to break up into small parts.
Marble is one of the most sustainable form of mining. The island is blessed with sizable deposits of raw minerals that do not run out because of its inexhaustible supply.
They have a lot of variety of marbles such as the black, green, blue, white, Italian white, century and century-cream.
But the most expensive are the 100-year-old century and the rare Romblon black (Black Onyx) marbles.
The marble shopping center is ther best place to buy intricate marbles ranging from small to big souvenir items.
You can find keychains, lamp shades, vases, sculptures and etc here at a low price.
For instance, keychains with customized engraving would go for P30, a medium-sized mortar and pestle for only P60, marble lamps for 650, ashtrays for P65 to P85, little buddha sculptures for P750 and beautiful gold century marble vase for P500.
3. Looc Fish Sanctuary (Tablas)
The Looc Bay Marine Sanctuary is a protected marine sanctuary in the middle of Looc Bay. It is host to more than a hundred different marine species including different fishes, corals, clams, lobsters, and turtles.
It’s one of my most recommended activities when in Tablas! Adults and kids alike will enjoy swimming, snorkeling, and feeding the fishes.
For those who don’t enjoy swimming, the floating house features a clear open aquarium at the center where you can feed the fish.
4. Bonbon Beach (Romblon, Romblon)
Considered as Romblon’s best and probably most beautiful sandbar.
Located just 5km away from Romblon town, the beach is a must-go-to-site when visiting the island, with frequent locals and foreigner visitors alike. Besides its beautiful 2km stretch sand, it’s unique feature is that it connects all the way to uninhabited Bang-ug island.
5. Catingas River (Sibuyan Island)
Just 3km away from San Fernando Town is Catingas River considered as one of the cleanest rivers in the country. We loved swimming in it’s cold and clear waters plus there are jump boards for those adventurous enough to try river cliff jumping.
Locals say your visit wouldn’t be complete if you don’t jump. There are three levels the lowest is an estimate of 15 feet, 25 feet, and the highest 45 feet.
6. Dagubdub Falls (Sibuyan Island)
One of the most visited falls in Sibuyan Island. It consists of 4 beautiful falls with crystal clear natural pools perfect for soaking and cliff diving. It is also famous for the presence of the “pitcher plants” – a plant endemic to the island and very rare to find in the country.
Sibuyan
There are a lot of unique and endangered plants found only in Sibuyan. One of them is the pitcher plants, a carnivorous plant that feeds on insects that have a pitcher shape feature. I heard you can take some home and plant it in your home.
7. Aglicay Beach Resort (Tablas)
Aglicay Beach is one of the first resorts in Romblon. It is closest to the airport with majority of it’s clients being internationals.
The shoreline features almost a half-kilometer stretch of white sand. Aglicay’s charm is different from Binucot, because in Binucot there are lots of resorts, but in Aglicay the owner owns the whole cove, so guests can experience a sense of privacy.
It is located just south of the town of Alcantara on the east coast of Tablas Island. It takes around 1.5 hours coming from Odiongan with an entrance fee of P100/person.

Giant Statues of Marble in Romblon
Who would have thought that the Philippines would be full of marble...
Romblon is a province in Mimaropa that is composed of three islands. The main (yet smallest) island is called the same name as its province... Romblon! Driving around this small island you feel like losing track of time. It is so peaceful, laid back and just awesome!
But...
You also may begin to feel like you are in Rome. I could understand if people called it Rome-Blon because there is so much Marble!! The island is the breadbasket of marble in the Philippines! It is everywhere! Literally the production just occurs on the side of the one main road circulating the island!
This is my experience running around and being mesmerized by all the marble!
Super Apir!

Nonok Beach - The Second Best Beach On Romblon Island, Philippines
Welcome to nonok beach which we would say is the second best beach or most popular beach on romblon island in the philippines
Nonok beach is located just 10 minutes motor bike ride away from the main town on romblon island.
To access nonok beach you must pay a entrance fee of 50 pesos per person which is well worth it because this beach is incredible... Bonbon beach may be the most famous but nonok is the beach you would rather relax on.
The water as usual in the philippines is crystal clear and really good for snorkelling and the beach is really good with plenty of shade around under trees or under shelter
Nonok beach is probably the most underrated beach in romblon island and is most definitely worthy of top rankings for the best beaches in the philippines

Scuba Diving in Romblon, Philippines with Three P Holiday and Dive Resort
In the Philippines, Romblon is known for its marble production, beautiful white beaches and clear blue waters. But unknown to many, even the locals, its best kept secret lies in the ocean. Hundreds of scuba divers and underwater macro photographers have gone to this quiet island in search for the tiniest creatures they can find. Getting here is not so easy as I myself have travelled almost 18 hours from Manila!
TRAVEL GUIDE:
This would be my second dive trip to Romblon as the previous trip with my friend, Jem, was cut short and I didn’t see the nudibranchs (sea slugs) I wanted to see that time around. Yes, you read that right, I was going to Romblon for sea slugs! Specifically the butterfly nudibranch (Cyerce nigra)!
I went diving with Three P (3P) one of the 2 dive shops in the island. I decided to go with them as I had gone diving with them previously and their location is closer to the beach, which I prefer. Also they specialize in the super macro photography and really know where to find the critters as they've been diving in the area for years!
I had upgraded my camera recently and thought I'd be able to get better photos this time around but I've completely forgotten and underestimated how tiny the nudibranchs and other creatures are in the area! Everything was 1cm or smaller and if it was bigger than 1 cm, that's already big in Romblon standards! :D
I'm so glad that I finally got to see the butterfly nudibranch of Romblon in this trip. Not just Cyerce nigra but also a Cyerce bourbonica! I also enjoyed observing the the ghost / phantom nudibranch (Melibe coleman) another rare nudibranch found in Romblon.
If you like super tiny critters then Romblon is the place to go! I am sure to be back once I've upgraded my gear and have improved on my photography and videography skills!
Although this trip was amazing the state of the reef left me sad. I hope when I come back someday the reef isn't as polluted and bleached!
Check out my Romblon Trash Haul video if you want to see the ugly side of the reef during this trip.

Romblon, Romblon, Philippines | The marble capital | Bhoknoy siopao
Known for its world class marble, romblon (romblon,romblon) is a small island at napapaligiran ng magagandang beach. May mga isla pang nasasakupan nya na mas maliit pa sa kanya gaya ng LOGBON, ALAD, at COBRADOR ISLAND. Di ko na napuntahan ang ibang isla dahil kulang po ako sa oras. Isa sa mga magagandang beach ay ang BON-BON beach(google for info) dahil sa malinaw na tubig at mahabang sand bar.
Fort San Andres, isa sa mga historical na lugar at isa sa mga dapat puntahan ng mga bisita.
BHOKNOY SIOPAO, iconic na pagkain sa amin lugar at dahil sa sarap nya di mo na kailangan ng sauce...

Bon Bon Beach, Romblon, Philippines - VLOG06
Welcome travel fans! In this episode, we visit Bon Bon Beach, Romblon, Philippines. I will take you on a journey to this open beach with turquoise waters, white sandy shores, and a unique sandbar that leads to the nearby island named Bangog, an uninhabited island, accessible during low tide. So best plan your trip when the tide is at the lowest point which only comes maybe once a month. Hope you enjoy this video I made for all you viewers out there. I tried to make it perfect but ran out of time so I did what I could to keep the storyline as short as possible, so I had to cut out a bunch of stuff towards the end. I hope to go back again soon with the drone this time and during low tide which I missed out on as you will see.
