Philippines / Batanes / Itbayat Island

The town of Itbayat is located on the island's west coast. Apart from extensive garlic production, Itbayat also has a relatively large pineapple harvest in June and July. They also have many more coconut trees here than on other Batan islands. Consequently, one has a better chance here to sample the coconut crab, a delicacy that, unfortunately, may be eaten into extinction in the Batanes.
