Siquijor island is mostly made up of limestone rock material and fringed by coral reefs. It has approximately 102 kilometers of shoreline. With the exception of relatively coastal plains in Lazi and San Juan, most of the interior of Siquijor island is either hilly or mountainous. The center of the island is elevated, the highest point of which is Mt. Bandilaan which is 557 meters high.
Most of the island's soils are Bolinao, Lugo, Faraon or Mandaue series clays which have developed from corraline limestone. Limestone outcrops are frequently observed at the surface all over the island. Areas at higher elevations and slopes of about 25% are eroded down to the subsoil and even to the bedrock in many places. Only 2.54% of these soils are Guimbaon clay which is volcanic in origin, and 2.5% are hydro soils and beach sand.
