Just after the shelter boat stop, the tour continues… Few kilometers drive down the road from Boat Shelter Port was the white beach. If you’re not familiar with the place, you will not notice this beach. There is no clear entrance on the beach; there was no signage as well. We got off our van and walked towards a grassy area.

BATANES… At The Boat Shelter Port
Another stop along the way… A short drive from Homoron Blue Lagoon was the boat shelter port. It was a cove where it houses the boats during typhoon season.

While... continue
