Bantayan Island has no shortage of beautiful beaches, but Baigad Lagoon offers something a little different.

Located in the northern part of the island, the lagoon area provides another opportunity to slow down, enjoy the water and experience a less conventional side of Bantayan’s coastline.

A Place to Take Your Time

The lagoon setting creates a different atmosphere from the wide-open beaches of Santa Fe.

For visitors who have already explored the island’s most famous beaches, a trip to Baigad can add some variety to the itinerary.

The area is suited to travelers who want to spend time around the water without necessarily chasing another major tourist attraction.

Plan Ahead

Because access arrangements and fees can change, it is worth checking current conditions before making the trip.

Recent travelers have reported boat and entrance costs associated with visiting the lagoon, so it is sensible to confirm the current arrangement locally rather than relying on older travel guides.

This is particularly important on Bantayan, where small attractions can change their operating arrangements over time.

The Best Kind of Island Day

The ideal Baigad day doesn’t need to be complicated.

Travel there in the morning, enjoy the water, have lunch & enjoy a few drinks at Liquido by the C and take photographs and spend some time simply relaxing.

Then return to Santa Fe without trying to squeeze another five attractions into the same afternoon.

Bantayan Island is at its best when you give yourself permission to slow down.

Baigad Lagoon is another place where that approach works beautifully.
