Visitors may also bask in the sun, swim, get a massage, and watch the sunset by the beach. Those who like to chill until night time can also enjoy various resto-bar that serves cocktail drinks.
Take note that most restaurants are only open until 10 p.m as loud music and nightlife parties are not allowed on the beach.
Tip: Guests coming from the underground river tour may opt to dock at the beach (depends on the wind and water current, just ask the boat captain and tour guide), or do a 15-minute walk from the boat terminal to this small village.
How to get here:
- From Sabang Boat Terminal: you can walk towards the first street corner. If you have transportation such as vans, you may enter the street but you have to pay a car pass for Php 20. There isn’t really a bigger space for parking around as it is a beach so it is advisable to just leave it in the terminal and walk towards the beach area.
- From Island hopping: You may opt to dock at the beach (depends on the wind and water current, just ask the boat captain and tour guide)
