Masasa beach has significantly altered Tingloy, the only Batangan municipality that is not on mainland Luzon. When weekend warriors found that a spectacular undeveloped cove lies just five hours away, they came in droves, pitching tents, setting up camps, as well as checking out what utilized to be understood only to locals. If you’re after solitude as well as you go to Masasa on a weekend, you’re not going to discover it right here anymore. Thankfully, there are other remarkable beaches around.
This brings us to Sepoc, located on the other side of the island. Locals phone call it Sepoc Point, referring to the suggestion of Maricaban where a steep rocky cliff stands guard.

Just to handle expectations, it isn’t as fine or white as that strewn on the shores of Boracay or Palawan, however it’s light, soft, as well as supple, composed primarily of small damaged corals polished by the waves over time. It’s fantastic for the typical activities like beach bumming, volleyball, as well as numerous others. There are rocky parts however they’re contained on one side. It is likewise forested, which offers shade for those staying away from the sun. however what sets it apart is it isolation. many people believe it’s a separate island since it’s cut off from the rest of municipality. There is no simple method to get right here other than by boat since the beach is flanked by steep cliffs that comprise a beautiful view.
