Canigao is an islet located in the Philippines, near the municipality of Matalom, Leyte. The area is known for abundant fishing grounds and scenic coral reef areas suitable for diving.
anigao Island is uninhabited, featuring a
lighthouse as its only significant man-made structure. The beaches have white sand, with tropical sea creatures and extensive
coral reef in the surrounding waters. The climate is
tropical and similar to that found in other areas of the
Philippine islands. These natural features often attract
tourists and
scuba divers, who arrive at the island by traveling from Matalom (in the province of Leyte).
