Our Location


San Jose Town. Located on Carabao Island, as the island-municipality of San Jose is otherwise called, is found at the southernmost tip of Romblon, strategically located between the famous island-resort of Boracay and Tablas Island.

Measuring only 28.9 square kilometers, this island does not look any different from the other islands of Romblon. From afar it looks like one flat islet with no heights to boast of. True enough, the highest peak is only 218 meters, but its beauty more than compensates for its size.

The beauty of San Jose is in its coastlines - it has the most beautiful beaches of the whole of Romblon. Perfect spot are the beaches in Brgy. Lunas, Bignay and the whole length of shoreline in the town proper. Of powdery find white sands, these beaches have clear, warm waters with gradually sloping ocean floors. The beachfront in the town proper spans more than a kilometer with a shore width of 15 meters during high tide becoming as wide as 25 to 30 meters during low tide. In Brgys. Lunas and Bignay, shorefronts measure five meters widening to about 10 meters in some areas. Those big boulders so common in the ocean floors on the islet of Alad, Logbon and Cabrador are also found in San Jose.

 

The boat passed by Carabao Island. This is a typical Philippine island with a costal cliff in front of a white beach. The trip to Santa Fe lasts about two hours and is quite interesting. The pier at Santa Fe is a flurry of activity with people helping passengers disembark and move luggage and belongings. It looked very safe. We were struck with nostalgia when we saw the method of transfer from the boat to the pier. First someone swims to the boat with a rope that is used to pull a smaller boat to the banca. The passengers got into the smaller boat and transferred to the pier. From here, we transferred to an already waiting jeepney. The trip costs about P150 and is beautiful. You travel through the hilly countryside with nice palms and occasional views of the ocean. This trip is much more interesting than flying from Borocay to Manila.
