Pink Beach of Calintaan Island

Pink Beach of Calintaan Island

The Philippines usually have cream,white sand beaches..But this one is rarest of them all. This unspoiled beach off Matnog town, the southernmost tip of Luzon, is popular for fine grains of sand that have little specks of pink, prodding locals to also call it “Malarosa” or pinkish. To get to Subic Beach head to Matnog, to which buses offer direct 13-hour trips from Cubao or Pasay. You may also go there by plane via Legazpi, and take shuttles straight to Matnog or via Sorsogon City. From the Matnog Port, rent a boat that will tour you around Tikling Island, the Juag Fish Sanctuary, and Calintaan Island.

Travel to Sorsogon

The entire province is one big eco-tour package. With Sorsogon City, the capital and seat of government, as jump-off point, all the eco-tour destinations within the province are easily accessible, including the singularly exciting, high adventure Whale Shark or Butanding Interaction activity off the waters of Donsol, Pilar, Castilla, Magallanes, and Bacon District of Sorsogon City. Sorsogon, one of the six Bikol provinces, and located at the southernmost tip of Luzon,  the gateway to the South of the Philippines offers the jaded visitor a new experience.. Unexplored and undiscovered, pristine and green vistas, Mother Nature at its best.

A rare nature-commune at the Mount Bulusan Natural Park and its mystical Bulusan Mountain Lake Resort, with its exotic flora and fauna. The province's magnificently colorful dive sites and marine sanctuaries. Mysterious caves with interesting folk legends to explore. Hot springs and healing mineral water spas to soak in, relax and unwind; the picturesque little islands within Sorsogon Bay and off Matnog, offering fine white, black or pink sand beaches. The historical landmarks, including old churches, ancient houses and monuments, historic ruins of baluartes, murallas, and astilleros or ancient shipyards, and local arts and crafts.

Sorsogon offers the visitor a wide variety of diversions, including scuba diving, snorkeling, sport fishing, swimming, boating, island-hopping, sunbathing, beachcombing, mountain climbing, biking, hiking, spelunking, or just simply touching base with nature at its pristine best.
