Matayum Lagoon — Attraction in Masbate

Masbate Lagoon is one of those spots that offer a refreshing escape without costing you anything. The lagoon has grown into a favorite destination for locals and visitors alike, not just for its natural beauty, but also for the unique experiences it offers.

One of the most fascinating things about Masbate Lagoon is the presence of milkfish (bangus) swimming freely beneath its calm waters. Feeding them is allowed and absolutely free making it a delightful experience, especially for families and children. Watching the fish gather as you toss in food brings a kind of peaceful joy that’s hard to explain unless you see it for yourself.

The lagoon also offers free boat rides, which is a rare treat in most tourist areas. These boat rides provide a better view of the surrounding greenery and allow visitors to fully appreciate the serenity of the place. Whether you want to relax, take photos, or simply enjoy the slow drift over the water, it’s a memorable experience.
