Cabuya Island Cemetery

Tip

Arrive about an hour before low tide, wear sturdy water shoes, and bring a mask — there's a little reef at one tip of the island. It's an active cemetery, so keep it respectful.

Be careful

The crossing is over sharp, slippery rock and the tide returns quickly — watch the time so you don't get stranded. Nobody watches the cars at the beach.

Getting there

Walkable only around low tide (about 10–15 minutes across rocks and shallow water); at high tide only by boat.
