💡 Tips
- Head to Brgy. Canipaan to rent a boat for the Twin Islands (San Pedro and San Pablo).
- Bring a power bank; electricity on the islands is limited, usually available only from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM.
- Withdraw enough cash in Maasin City or Sogod before heading here, as ATMs are very scarce in town.
- Signal is weak on the islands; it's the first-rate place to unplug, but let family know you'll be off-grid.
- Rent your boat early in the morning when the sea is calmest for the most comfortable trip.

Water temperature…
San Pedro is located on the photogenic coast of Southern Leyte, offering visitors an authentic Philippine atmosphere away from the large tourist crowds. The region is known for its hospitable residents and proximity to Sogod Bay, which provides excellent diving opportunities. The coastline is lined with cozy accommodations that provide direct access to the water. Among the most popular relaxation spots are Vista Beach Resort and Alejandro Beach Resort, both valued for their relaxed environment. Aloha Beach Resort complements the offer with tropical flair. The beaches here are mostly pebbly or covered with dark sand, which makes the water appear particularly clear. Culinary-wise, travelers can enjoy fresh fish and local specialties from Leyte. Access is usually via Tacloban airport or by ferry from Cebu, followed by a scenic drive along the coastal road, which features dramatic views of the ocean.
