About Catanduanes Island

Catanduanes, often referred to as the "Land of Howling Winds," encompasses 576 square miles (1,492 square kilometers) in the Bicol Region. The island's location facing the Pacific Ocean makes it a natural barrier against typhoons, earning its nickname. It has emerged as an off-the-beaten-path surfing destination, with Puraran Beach known for its powerful waves. The island's economy is primarily based on abaca production, producing high-quality fiber used in ropes and handicrafts.
