The island, virtually a sandbar is surrounded by green waters that is rich with marine life that houses the endangered giant clams.
The Agutayan Island is crescent moon in shape, an ideal camping and swimming site. It is no more than 500 square meters in area and can be seen from end to end. The marine sanctuary surrounding the island is an amazing reef suited for all levels, where one can find Lionfish of all sizes are everywhere, nudibranch, anemones, angel fish, trigger fish, groupers, hammerheads, gorgonians, pufferfish, porcupines and various colorful fishes roam underwater.
