About
Datos rápidos: Calm, jade-green water fills a broad curved bay where coral gardens lie a short swim from shore, making colorful reef fish and anemones easy to see through a mask. Small wooden banca boats and handline fishermen still dot the water, and occasional sea turtle or dolphin sightings brighten clear mornings.
Destacados: Lantern-lit fishers in groups of about 10 to 15 banca boats drift like a constellation of orange lights after sunset, while phosphorescent plankton flash under paddles in the shallow coves. A community-run program called Bantay Dagat reportedly planted over 5,000 clam spat and baby corals in a single season, a hands-on effort visitors can often watch from the shoreline.
Insider tips
- Wear reef-safe sunscreen and water shoes for rocky shallows.
- Bring your own snorkel set and a dry bag to avoid rental costs and keep valuables safe.
- Shoot photos at sunrise or early morning when light is best and boats are fewer.
- Avoid public holidays and weekends when local families visit to keep the experience quieter.
