Camotes Islands consist of four islands, Pacijan Island, Poro Island, Ponson Island and a tiny Tulang Island. Pacijan and Poro Islands are actually joined together by paved road. Ponson Island is separated by Camotes Sea, about 4 km northeast from Poro Island. Tulang is located to the north of Pacijan.
All four islands are located in Camotes sea, between Cebu island and the province of Leyte. Camotes are low lying islands. There is only one hill on Pacijan and another hill on Poro Island. These hills are used by a telecommunication company for relay stations. Pacijan Island has a fresh water lake which is about 2 km long. Palm trees are the dominant plant on the islands. There are also other native varieties of fruit trees and other woods.
CamotesIsland is situated in Central Visayas, in the Philippines.
The island is approximately 562 kilometers south east of Manila, 62 kilometers north east of Cebu and 25 kilometers west of Ormoc.
During this season, CamotesIsland is frequently visited by typhoons and low depression, wherein it floods the whole island, and blows the native houses' rooftops away.
