The world-famous sardine run is located here. It is an excellent place for SCUBA diving. Freedivers and snorkelers will also love it.
Small, rocky beach with little shade. It can get crowded with tourists in life vests, guides and scuba divers. The sardines are a must see, but I would suggest you go a bit down the way (across the mermaid statue), for a sandy, much cleaner and quieter beach. You can find also sardines there, turtles, and corals. Bonus point: no scammers that tell you you MUST pay a guide if you want to swim. You must pay 100 Pesos per person to enter.
Absolutely loved this place! No environmental fees on the way to the beach—unlike other areas that have 3 or more checkpoints. The beach is surrounded by a great mix of establishments, especially a wide variety of restaurants—Filipino, French, Japanese, Korean, Thai, American, and more. There’s something for everyone! We had such an amazing time here. Definitely recommending this to friends and would love to come back! 🥰⛱️🌊✨ P.S. Spotted a giant turtle near the shore while swimming—so cool! 🐢
