Little Sta. Cruz Island Sandbar: Across the Turquoise Waters of Zamboanga
The approach toward Little Sta. Cruz Island Sandbar begins along the coastlines facing the southwestern edge of Zamboanga City, where tourism boats gradually leave the mainland and move into the waters of the Basilan Strait. From the city’s coastal jump-off points near Paseo del Mar and Fort Pilar, the urban shoreline slowly fades behind the open sea as the islands of the Sta. Cruz group begin to appear in the distance.
