Pitas Island Beach
Pitas Island Beach
Location
Zamboanga City
Right across from Bolong Beach, one could almost swim towards it via the narrow channel dividing Pitas Island from the mainland of Zamboanga City. The island is sparsely inhabited by a few fishermen, and the white sand beach is better accessed via a local motorized vinta for a few hundred pesos (for the 11 Islands group) – most of the cost is fairly negotiable, depending on who you know. The crystal-clear water surrounding these Eleven Islands, as most are locally known by, belongs to the Moro Gulf. The water is teeming with fish, and snorkeling is a good option. Just as everything else, please be cautious and let your friends know your whereabouts
