See the sandbar at Snake Island

Snake Island takes its name from the curved sandbar beside Vigan Island, a striking change from the steep cliffs and enclosed lagoons elsewhere in Bacuit Bay. The view and the amount of exposed sand depend on the tide, so timing matters more than a fixed order of stops. Include it in a boat excursion and ask the crew when the sandbar will be most visible. Follow their advice about where to walk and swim.
