User reviews

"During peak season, the beach can be quite packed, but that shouldn't deter you from experiencing its beauty. As someone who has been fortunate enough to visit many breathtaking beaches in the Philippines, I can confidently say that this particular one stands out from the rest. It's definitely worth adding to your itinerary if you ever find yourself in Italy."

Zariel Kael Mirendor

"The beach is truly breathtaking! The scenery is stunning, especially when viewed from above. To access the beach, one must proceed forward and descend through a tunnel that leads down to the shore. Alternatively, there is a grand staircase that leads to a level platform near the water, which offers an equally magnificent vista."
