Nice small beach within a shallow protected cove. Picnic cottages for rent (300php)or tables/benches(100php). Clean shower n toilet. Sand is coarse creamy white, with speckles of black, from broken coral and shells. Water is shallow and calm but rocky a few meters from shore. Water shoes are recommended. A small limestone island with a cottage, beautiful views of leyte island and for the brave cliff diving is located near the beach and you can walk to it. Stores/vendors sell food/drinks but i recommend bringing your own food(cooked or to grill) and buying beverage on site (soda, beer, liquor). Entrance fee/environmental fee is 5php. Parking will cost 50php for a car. Trash cans are easily found. Nice beach to take your family. I was told you can camp overnight and there is a pension house within...

Though it is not fully developed but without a doubt, it is one of the most incredible summer tourist destinations of Southern Leyte because of it's untouched beauty and elegance. It has this relaxing tropical ambiance in the air in which you can heavily enjoy basking under the sun or cool off from the blazing summer heat along with your friends and family.

The cottages are very affordable and I think the cleanliness of the place is regularly maintained. Great for taking selfies and group photos. You can even go to an island near it by just walking especially when low tide. The island is a great place to take a dive. So if you're finding a great place this summer, why not...
