Seashells and Seaweeds at Basud Island, Caramoan

 Basud Island is not usually included in a typical Caramoan island-hopping package, but my auntie Alice wanted to buy some edible seaweeds and my niece Marie was hankering for seashells to bring home to her friends, our tour guide was nice enough to bring us to Basud for these purposes.

This island was charming though it did not compare to the beauty of the others we’ve visited, but seashells here were plentiful and we had so much fun picking out the best ones. There were fishermen here also, and for a ₱300 fee, they will hop in their canoe and get you some scrumptious seaweeds to munch on or make gelatin out of.

We just spent the rest of our time here relaxing, eating junk food and laughing at our poor cousin taking a piss on some bushes (harhar!). Anyway, if you’re ever in Caramoan and you’d like to bring home some free conch shell “souvenirs”, Basud Island is the place to go.
