Location

Naranjo Islands (also known as San Vicente Islands) lie 12 13' North, 124 02' East in the east central periphery of the Philippine archipelago. This group of islands is bounded by Sorsogon in the North, Ticao Island in the West, Masbate in the Southwest and Northern Samar in the Far East. It is approximately 10 nautical miles from the Pacific Ocean and sits near the entrance along the Paso de Acapulco, otherwise known as San Bernardino Strait.

Naranjo Islands consist of six islands formed in a circle cluster with Medio Island at the center. The other islands are San Andres, Rasa, Darsena, Aguada and Escarpada. This group of islands lie within a volcanic belt that has been active for the last 5 1/2 million years and stretches from Southeastern Luzon to Southeastern Mindanao. This volcanic belt includes the active Mayon volcano in Albay.

The circular pattern of the islands and the volcanic composition suggests the group represents the remnants of a submerged volcanic cone which may have formed during the last ice ages when sea level was lower. On the other hand, it could have formed underneath the ocean itself. Medio Island, the center of the group of islands, could be the dome of this extinct volcano.

This group of islands have been the last stop for victuals by the Spanish galleons before their long journey to Acapulco, Mexico.

The islands are presently utilized as coconut plantations.
