Tip # 5: The best time to visit Sumilon Island is between 2 and 4 p.m. during low tide. During those hours, there will also be fewer people, so you will almost certainly have the place to yourself.

Tip # 6: Bring plenty of water and snacks to keep you hydrated while admiring the island's natural beauty. Just don't forget to take out your trash. When you return to Brumini Resort, pack them and dispose of them.
