Malilipot
Visit Malilipot for a half‑day stop (≈4 h): see Vanishing Island sandbar, Parish of Our Lady of Mount Carmel and a short hike; skip overnight.
Malilipot is a small coastal town on Albay’s east coast. Its main attractions – the sandbar, a historic parish and nearby mountain trails – can be covered in a half‑day. One night is optional for a relaxed pace, but most travelers treat it as a quick stop en route to Legazpi or Tabaco.
