This 6-hectare uninhabited coral islet features three dive sites: the Ormoc Shoal, the Nu\u00f1ez Shoal, and the southwest wall of Capitancillo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Capitancillo was named after American Navy Captain Cillo who reached the islet during WWII. On the island is a lighthouse built in the 1900s and some concrete benches, the remains of some structures, limestone cliffs, and some coconut trees. Snorkeling, kayaking, diving, and overnight camping are some activities you can do on the island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"540\" data-attachment-id=\"1341\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/cebuinsider.com\/best-islands-in-cebu\/capitancillo-island\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cebuinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Capitancillo-Island.jpeg?fit=720%2C540&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"720,540\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Capitancillo Island\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;An aerial view of Capitancillo Island in Bogo City, Cebu&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cebuinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Capitancillo-Island.jpeg?fit=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cebuinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Capitancillo-Island.jpeg?fit=720%2C540&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cebuinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Capitancillo-Island.jpeg?resize=720%2C540&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"capitancillo island - best islands in cebu\" class=\"wp-image-1341\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cebuinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Capitancillo-Island.jpeg?w=720&amp;ssl=1 720w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cebuinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Capitancillo-Island.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">An aerial view of Capitancillo Island in Bogo City, Cebu<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Virgin_Island\"><\/span>6.
