Balintang Islands are a small group of rocky islands in the middle of Balintang Channel, in Luzon Strait, northern Philippines. The islands are almost equidistant to both Babuyan Island, Cagayan, which lies about 29 miles (47 km) to the southwest, and Sabtang Island, Batanes, located 28 miles (45 km) to the northwest.[note 1] The group is composed of seven small, sharp-peaked islets and rocks visible about 24 miles (39 km) in clear weather.[2][3][4] Taiwan will be also directly to the north of Luzon Island in the Philippines via Luzon Strait to Bashi Channel.
