Valugan Boulder Beach
San Joaquin, Basco, Batanes, Philippines
Exploring Basco by bike is the most challenging and best adventure yet in all my travels. Cycling to traverse some of the beautiful spots of North Batan especially my favorite place to be – Valugan Bay, is really exhausting but the view is stunning and truly, breathtaking Batanes 🖤

Batanes
A lot of people want to go to Batanes because of the magnificent views, food, culture, and people. I was surprised the most of what they are saying is really true. First that i noticed in this place is the people. They just greet you and smile at you even if you dont know them. Our tour guide Sir Renz told us that in batanes if you did not greet them back they will think that you are arrogant or boastful. So expect all the people will greet you, say hi and hello. Second the food, i really love seafoods and as expected we are served with so many seafood dishes and i really had a hard time eating it all ahaha. The fish, all the shell fish, they all tastes good. And last the view, while at the tour, the are also other tourist visiting the spot and i taking photos with the beautiful scenery. The place on every part of the island is so majestic that you really want to stay longer. Of course, i am definitely going back in this place.

The pristine beauty of Batanes can be seen on its lovely beaches.
Morong Beach's waves are milder than those seen on other Batanes beaches, making it safer for tourists to swim.
It has pure white sand that rivals Boracay's.
It's also far more equitable than the other beaches in the province.
