The view in Dao-Dao Island and Green Island are serene and peaceful except that it needs to be improved in terms of facilities and cleanliness. The Green Island reveals a sand bar during low tide with its semi sandy and stony shore.

I thought it is a scary place, but it was not. I enjoyed walking through along with my co-adventurers until we get to the end point. Amazing #
Pagadian City Attractions
Pagadian City is straddling the line between modernity and traditions. All the entrapments of modern technology are present for the eager tourist or local, but there is still a sense of the old, reminiscent of rural towns. Such a feeling invokes in one a sense of relaxation, perfect for anyone who wants to get away from all the trappings of a bustling metropolis. While all this is enough to warrant at least a couple days' stay at Pagadian City, it is just icing in the cake. Pagadian is also not without its landmarks and attractions, especially the natural ones, of which the Philippines is particularly known for. And like most places that are hidden gems, searching and encountering each one is an adventure in and of itself.

Stunningly beautiful Lakewood is regarded as on of the prime, unspoiled nature spots in the country. Tukuran Beach, a submarine landing area in World War II, also has great tourist potential among other attractions in Pagadian City, Zamboanga Del Sur.
