Excursion to the beautiful province

Only about 30 kilometres west of Butuan City, the municipality of Carmen presents itself as a picturesque and relaxed oasis, perfect for a short or long excursion. As a typical Philippine coastal town, it captivates visitors with its peaceful atmosphere and the warm hospitality of its residents. It is striking how open and friendly the people here are. The province is gradually sprucing itself up, so more travellers from abroad can be expected.

Carmen is easily accessible from Butuan

Visitors will find an idyllic setting here, where they can escape the hustle and bustle of the city and relax on golden sandy beaches such as the famous Binuangan Beach.

Carmen is the ideal place to swim in clear waters, experience spectacular sunsets and enjoy fresh seafood directly from local fishermen – a charming destination that perfectly embodies the unspoilt nature and relaxed lifestyle of the Philippine coast.

Relax, swim, cycle or hike?
