Pinyahon Island

                                               

                                              Pinyahon Island

          A very tiny island located at Sibutad, Zamboanga Del Norte Philippines. This rocky island has approximate land area of about 2,400 square meters with watch tower in the middle. A blissful ambiance and a white sand shoreline, a crystal clear cool water captivates foreigners and local tourist, makes them to stay and behold its beauty. Its warm water at night is best for night swimming, laying down at white sand feeling the cool night breeze, there you have a good stargazing.  

         A name Pinyahon derives from the word Pinya witch means Pineapple. Perhaps it has a pineapple shape when it was first discovered and developed.. Today, Pinyahon Island is even more beautiful, sunrise is so inviting, it has cottages for the tourist to stay and enjoy.

Aw! there are sea snakes also called (Walo-walo) This black and white banded ell is known to be the most venomous snake. Some local Fishermen I've talk to said that if you happened to be bitten by this sea snake you will not last 8 hours that's why it was called (walo-walo) Walo means eight in English.  But don’t worry they are not that harmful if not threatens. They just love to stay in the dry and cool rocks at night then came back to the water at day.
                                                             

          April 18 & 19, 2019 I gave my family a lengthen season island visit there. My wife and I sleeps in the sand at night where there are file of rocks behind us. Roaming around early morning after waking my wife called me to hurry back to the spot where we slept, she showed me the sea snake just came out from the rocks besides the spot we were sleeping. Thank God it didn’t bite us.

        






        I guarantee, you will not regret if you spent your vacation and family bonding there.

By the way, if you plan to go make a visit; bring as much provision you might need because there is no store in there to buy anything.
