 Calicoan Island
Calicoan is a Philippine island east of Leyte Gulf, off the
southeastern point of Samar. It is one of the islands that
are part of the municipality of Guiuan, in the province
of Eastern Samar. The island can be reached from
Belvedere Park & Beach
Baybayon ni Tata Joven
Tacloban City by a two-hour bus ride.
Resort
Calicoan Island has white sand beaches with rocky
bottoms. In the middle of the island are six lagoons
ringed by forest, the largest being 30 hectares (74 acres)
in size. At the cliff side margin of Calicoan’s forests are
dozens of caves. On the northern tip of Calicoan are
wetlands, teeming with fish, shrimp, and crabs.

The rich diversity of the area is evident when one sees the
exotic species being sold. The surrounding waters support
several marine-based industries such as fish farming,
seaweed farming, and pearl farming.

During the landfall of Typhoon Haiyan (Super

Typhoon Yolanda) in 8 November 2013, large sections
of the eastern coast of the island were seriously damaged.
