Maculabo Island or Macolabo Island is an island barangay in the Philippines in the municipality of Paracale, Camarines Norte. The island is part of the Calaguas group of islands[1] while the barangay also includes the uninhabited Samur Island around 7 kilometers (4.3 mi) to the northwest in its jurisdiction. The island serves as a major stop-over going to Tinaga Island where the well-known long beach Mahabang Buhangin is located. The island is about 4 kilometers (2.5 mi) long. Locals reside on parts of the island with farming and fishing as their main source of income.
