POTIPOT ISLAND from my experience

-entrance fee 100, overnight 300 (holy week season, not sure if it's the same with lean season)

-there are some kubo which you can rent while staying at Potipot 

-you can stroll around the shoreline of the Island in less than an hour

-water is so clear that you can see what's under like the sea urchin *lol*

-there are no resorts, but there's a water pump and empty pail if you need water if you will take a bath

Maybe:

-you should bring a tent. because if all the kubo are rented,you can have a place to put your things

-bring grilling paraphernalia. There's a place where you can grill your foods but if there's a lot of people there will be no enough space for all of you to grill.

Boat ride to the Island

closer

and closer

When we strolled around the island,I noticed that most people are staying here. And may I suggest that you stay at this part if ever you will visit the island because, compared to the other side of the island, it has less stones and sea urchin and has more trees. 

This is the other side. People are here just to take pictures.

Look! Patrick the Starfish is here.

Poor little crab.

Dead fish. :l

Big Starfish

Small Starfish

See how clear the water is. 

I know you don't want to get too close with the sea urchin.

Especially with them. There's an area where you can find a lot of this. While strolling I saw few people stepped on a sea urchin. So be very careful.

Is this also a Starfish?
