Tagauayan Island is part of the Cuyo Group of Islands scattered in northern Sulu Sea,

between Palawan and Panay Island. Tagauayan, also known as Pan de Azucar

during the Spanish era, is a U-shaped, 400 hectare and seemingly two adjacent islands - but it’s not. One can actually walk from one

“island” to the other during low tide. Tagauayan is under barangay Cocoro - which is

also the name of its neighbouring island. Cuyo, the name of the biggest island in the

group has an airport that can accommodate chartered flights and private planes. The Cuyo Group also includes Pamalican Island which is

known for its luxurious and world renowned Amanpulo Resort. All of the Cuyo Islands are within the jurisdiction of the municipality of

Magsaysay, province of Palawan.

Tagauayan’s main island is about 350 hectares where the highest peak at 490 feet above sea level is situated. It’s northern and southern edges are mostly rocky, but it’s inland portions are made of loam soil where agriculture can thrive. On the otherhand, the “small island” is about 50 hectares where 70% is rocky and 30% is sandy beach. The seemingly two adjacent islands are actually one which becomes evident during low tides. Coconuts, citrus, bananas and other vegetations abound through out the island.

Property Description

Tagauayan Island is formed like a U-shape. The opening that fronts

northeast is the entrance to Tagauayan Bay which is the

safest and most appropriate berthing area that could

accommodate even large steel-hulled vessels. The wide beach

along the bay also serves as landing site for helicopters. It

may also be possible to build an air strip on this side of the island. The tidal “Land bridge” connecting the small island to the main island.

There are a few families living in Tagauayan where sufficient potable fresh water sources are available. There is no electricity and no existing roads. There are no established resorts and only a couple of stores are operating in the island. The island boasts of two white sand beaches: a 600-meter northeastern beachfront, and a 900-meter long beach in its southeastern front. Both beaches extends to about 250-280 meters seaward. There’s also a marine sanctuary in the island where one can swim and snorkel to enjoy the spectacular underwater scenery. Tagauayan with its unsullied environment takes pride in its alluring natural beauty, pristine white sand beaches and abundant marine life.

There are several ways to get to Tagauayan Island : From Manila take a 1-hour flight to Iloilo City in Panay Island. From Iloilo, board the ship for a 12-hour trip to Cuyo Island. In Cuyo town, take the 30-minute tricycle ride to Magsaysay town where a motorized boat can be rented for a 45-minute trip to Tagauayan Island.

How to get there?

Another option is via Puerto Princesa City (also an hour’s flight from Manila). At Puerto Princesa, ride a ship bound for Cuyo port (14-16 hours trip). Then, take the same motorcycle and motorized boat rides to Tagauayan.

Cuyo Airport in Magsaysay town is well suited for chartered flights and private planes. It is regularly being used by planes delivering fresh seafood to

Manila.

The fastest option is taking a chartered flight directly to Magsaysay town, one of two towns in Cuyo Island. From the airport, its just a short motorcycle ride to the wharfs - for the boat ride to Tagauayan.
