Virgin Island, also known as Pungtud Island, sits a short boat ride from Balicasag. It emerges fully during low tide, offering a long stretch of shallow water for wading.

Since dolphin tours start early, you usually arrive here by mid-morning. It serves as a brief, relaxing stop before boats head back to Alona Beach or Danao Beach.
