Apo Island is located just off the southeastern tip of the island of Negros, 30 km south of the Negros Oriental Capitol of Dumaguete.
The island is only 3 km in diameter and 120 m at it's highest point, where a light house stands. There is a white stone beach, 250 m long, and an unusually vibrant coral reef, which has been protected as a fish sanctuary since 1982 offering extraordinary diving and snorkeling.
There are about 800 residents living on the Island. Liberty's Lodge provides accommodations for visitors. There are 14 rooms and a restaurant serving good European and Filipino meals.
The other parts of Apo Island have rocky beaches which are a resource for all kinds of large fish species. There is a hiking trail to the lighthouse on the top of the island where you can see a variety of fruit trees. There is no motorized traffic like cars or motorbikes found on the Island.
