Balabac is a second class municipality in the province of Palawan, Philippines, off the southern end of Palawan Island. The town is one of municipalities in the Philippines which are mainly composed of a group of islands. The municipality consists of some 32 islands, the largest of which are Balabac and Bugsuk.
Bugsuk island seems to have what it takes to dethrone Boracay’s claim on having the ultimate mix of having powdery white sand and a lengthy uninterrupted stretch. Bugsuk’s white sand beach measures up to 15 kilometers in Google’s satellite imagery! Bugsuk island in Balabac town is located near Palawan mainland’s southernmost tip, uncharted territory for mainstream tourism.
Bugsuk is getting popular that one day, it may end up like the well-developed Boracay. A broad, flat island situated at the southern tip of Palawan undoubtedly hosts the longest and finest stretch of white sand beach in the country — finer than Boracay and longer than the famous Long Beach of San Vicente.
The beach along Barangay Sebaring on the southern part of Bugsuk Island is so fine and powdery that it will make your feet sink with every step. Local beach worms called wakwak thrive in this wide expanse of white sand, and for the Palawan tribe who inhabits the area, these worms dipped in vinegar translates to a snack.
