44-Peso Challenge: Crab Island in Lapu-Lapu City

After the viral hit 85-Peso Cordova White Sandbar last month that reached to at least 1.5 million people on Facebook comes another sure hit island in Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu.

The Crab Island is already quite popular among the locals of Mactan. But not too many people know about this “hidden paradise” yet. Hence, it has NO entrance fee yet as of this writing. Though some residents might charge you ₱10 per head for “touring purposes”, but we recommend to avail this as a help to preserve this attraction.

Check out these awesome photos of the Crab Island in Lapu-Lapu City by Kayeleen Co:
