A Look at Snake Island in El Nido
For a sandbar, I thought that Snake Island was quite long. So long that it reaches all the way back to the mainland, thereby blocking off the channel of water in this area. Boats will have to go around Snake Island to reach the blocked area. The other end of snake island is much higher than the opposite end. At this point, it was no longer underwater and it was solid sand here. Most people who come to Snake Island in El Nido, will definitely do this little walk and it is a fun walk. The sand isn’t hot to the touch, but if you were sensitive you could always soak yourself in the water.
Clear Waters at Snake Island in El Nido
I was looking at Snake Island when I realized that there were actually two bodies of water here, one on each side. I figured that one body of water would have a current of water one way and the other one the opposite way. These opposite forces of water would bring with them sediment in the form of sand. Over time, the points where the waters meet bring enough sand to form the sandbar we see today. It was interesting to see these things still in action. It is through these actions that mother nature shapes the land around us.
