Matukad Island is special among the other islands of the Caramoan group of islets because it is guarded by a majestic creature. It also has a long stretch of fine white sand, crystalline water, and greenery, and the wind is delicate, cool, and fresh. Instead of renting an air-conditioned room at Brgy. Paniman, we camped by the beach and stayed here for about twelve hours, enjoying its goodness.
As mentioned above, referring to the mystical creature, Caramoan also has its own story. According to the locals, two Bangus were living in the lagoon. However, there was a person who caught one of them, and he died. After the story circulated in the area, no one ever touched the remaining bangus in the said lagoon.
The photo above was taken on the top of the lagoon, showing the other side of Matukad beach. The water is clear, the rock formations are amazing, the shoreline has fine white sand, and, Wow, this island is such a paradise.
