Overview

Kitesurf

Virgin Island is a small sandbar island located between Panglao and Bohol islands in the Central Visayas, Philippines. At low tide, the sandbar extends creating a beautiful white sand beach surrounded by turquoise water. The spot catches both Amihan (NE) and Habagat (SW) monsoon winds.

The shallow waters around the sandbar provide flat water conditions ideal for freeriding. Accessible only by boat. The sandbar appearance varies significantly with the tide. Limited to no facilities on the island itself. Best for intermediate to advanced riders who arrange boat support. A stunning location for a kite session.
