White sand temporary beach island

A temporary beach

Looks like some bangka boat pilots found the perfect place to park their craft—for now. Lahos Island's central strip of sand will be submerged during high tide, but until then it's a perfect place to relax and catch some rays. The fun needn't end once the water rises, either: These seas offer incredible swimming and snorkeling, too. Keep exploring the Philippines and Lahos is just one of many hidden gems you'll find, as this bustling archipelago boasts more than 7,500 islands great and small.
