Yumbing

Yumbing is the bustling tourist heart of Camiguin Island, acting as the primary base for most visitors exploring the 'Island Born of Fire'. Located at the foot of Mount Hibok-Hibok, the village gives a dramatic backdrop where volcanic slopes meet the Bohol Sea. Its fame comes mostly from being the jumping-off point for White Island, a memorable, uninhabited sandbar just a short boat ride away, famous for its blindingly white sand and views of the main island's peaks. The resort scene in Yumbing is well-developed. Paras Beach Resort is a landmark property offering great views and facilities, while Medano Island Resort and Dreamland Resort & Hotel cater to a variety of budgets with comfortable coastal stays. For those seeking a more mindful experience, Kurma provides a focus on yoga and freediving in an eco-conscious setting. The White Island Beach remains the star attraction, offering a unique sunbathing and snorkeling experience in the middle of the sea. Beyond the beach, Yumbing is conveniently located near other island highlights like the Soda Water Pool and various waterfalls. The area is filled with cozy eateries serving local delicacies and international fare. Don't miss the chance to try the famous Camiguin Pastel and fresh lanzones during the season. Yumbing’s blend of accessibility, natural wonders, and island hospitality makes it the well-suited introduction to Camiguin’s charms.
