White Beach Resort — Local services in Aurora

First up, this is not a "white" beach. Just your regular beach with cottages run by the locals. We went May and the beach was full of jellyfish. They told us it's not the kind that stings tho. Second, if you're alone or a group of less than 10 and planning on just a day tour, better to contact a tour company so it'll lessen your expenses. Better to bring your own food and drinks.

This is not a white beach, but back in the past, according to the tour guide it was. Until 2004, when three successive typhoons ravaged Dingalan and Aurora as whole which then triggered a landslide that then mixed with the white sands of this beach.

Other than that, the beach is a chef's kiss. It was noon when I took a bath and it was still as cold as rain. The boodle fight was also great. As much as possible too, buy from the locals because what they prepare tastes really good and it was also the only source of...
