Papaya Island Cove — Attraction in Maragondon

We were 4 and it costs about 4k. Our sponsor provided the boat ride, tent, water to wash our bodies and mineral water to drink. And the tent too. We bought our own food from the nearby talipapa market before taking the 15 minute boat ride. Ate Ellen and his family were gracious.

Globe and Smart had 3G signal good enough to stream music.

There were makeshift toilets and Security personnel from the DENR.

The island has trash from current and old visitors who are obviously, just stupid.

You can also request to have an island hopping activity from Ate Ellen’s family. There would be a cliff jump, a short trek where that photo was taken and a fish feeding activity where you can...

We went here in October 2018. We rode on a motorized boat from Patungan Cove and we paid 100php per head. The beach is clean (though I hope that until now it's the same thing) and if you don't have your other needs for your stay like charcoal, beer, fish, meat, ice, etc., it's available here, however, it's just a bit pricey. There are also crablets in the sand and beneath the shore. The cottage ranges from 1500php to 3500php...

The place is nice, people who lived there are very sweet, they will ask you what other things you need. It was a relaxing and magical moment for us because you get what you expected, the comfy and nice view.. Little magic from sea awaits at night.. As the water slowly down and the moon shine brightly, this little sea creatures starts to crawl. Cute tho. Definitely will go back there for the 3rd...
