Philippines' Vanishing Island: Tidal Sandbar Disappears Nightly

• A "vanishing island" in the Philippines, a tidal sandbar, disappears at night and reappears in the morning due to tidal changes.
• Located between Liliporan and Panglao in Bohol province, it is visible from 8 AM to 3-4 PM during low tide.
• The sandbar is approximately 1 km long and 300 meters wide, attracting thousands of tourists daily for activities like snorkeling and sightseeing.
• By 4-5 PM, high tide submerges the island 3-5 feet underwater, making it disappear completely by 6 PM.
• Tourists are advised to leave by 3:30 PM to avoid being stranded; it's recognized as a top 5 tourist spot in the Philippines for 2025.
