Great Santa Cruz Island is a small inhabited island in Zamboanga City in the southern region of the Philippines that is famous for its pink coralline sand.
Las Islas de Sta Cruz 7000 Zamboanga Philippines
To go to the island , you can go directly to Paseo de Mar near Fort Pilar and sign up for a boat ride . A roundtrip costs P1000 per boat of 10 people (P100/person).
Check out the fresh catch of the day from the local peddlers. A bag of crabs only costs P350. Sweet deal!
The tourism office is closed on weekends. Go to the operations office of the police station directly to get a boat reservation then submit to Paseo del Mar police station . Haggard!
lovely beach but our stay's too short for me. will definitely come back here again :)
Pretty soon the facilities here would be a lot better.:) Construction on going.:)
Place is not well maintained, worth going to if u want to jump pn the bandwagon as it's popular arnd zamboanga city. We left after 30mins and didnt quite enjoy the sand or water

Great place to celebrate an outdoor occasions. This beach has cottages and restaurants for those who wants to spend a night. make sure you bring sunscreens with you. - Gaapar De Rosa
It's also beautiful here in the morning, quiet and peaceful. I just wish some of the shops would open early so I could get coffee. - Andrea Monica Gonzales
