Batanes : Boulder Beach Valugan

Misty Boulders

Boulder Beach Valugan is just a short bike ride away from Basco Proper. It is known for its smooth boulders that line the beach which stretches for miles with big waves crashing on them. Interesting to see here is how the smaller pieces of stones seem to gather at the right end of the beach while huge boulders dominate the center and the left side of the beach. Because of the big waves crashing on the boulders, this beach is no place for swimming or even surfing. However, visitors here really won't mind because they would probably just enjoy the unique seascape that this beach offers. The best time to enjoy the place is during at sunrise.

Here are some more photos:

  3. Awesome photos!

    Though the beach isn't suitable for a dive or swim, yet seeing these photos and how you describe the said subject is proving to be a worthy visit. Seascapes, I marvel at them - the horizon where the earth, water, and sky meet is just fantastic.

    Just today, I watched the second part of their Batanes and now wonder in the coming days, this place will now longer be short of visitors as they will flock the majestic island province to experience the seemingly extremely interesting spots there. Once again, you made me full by just reading your entry. Thanks as always for giving us the best of Attly. Oman's travelogue.

    1. Have you watched Byahe ni Drew? Their latest feature was in Batanes. Teka, is there a Pinoy TV there?

    1. There are lots of ways to save on a trip. Book ahead for a flight and do a DIY travel. Research and ask travel bloggers for tips. I would be happy to give one in case you push through with it.
