The location of Alabat Island in Philippine province of Quezon

Alabat Island is composed of 3 municipalities, Perez in the Northern tip, Alabat town proper in the center and Quezon in the South.

The island is located in the Lamon Bay and (33 km long) has an extensive mangrove fringe along its southwest shore, with several hundred hectares of intertidal mudflats exposed at low tide. Large portions of the original mangrove forest have been degraded or completely destroyed for the construction of fish and shrimp ponds.

Alabat enjoys a humid tropical climate with no dry season, but a very pronounced period of maximum rainfall from November to January.
