Things to see and do Barrio Barretto

This is a beautiful beach, surrounded by mountains covered with greenery, a bit off the beaten track, and can be reached by a 20-minute drive from Pundaquit. It is a beautiful cove, perfect for fishing, snorkeling or just enjoying the beach. The best time to go there is in the late afternoon: the light on the China Sea is then the most beautiful. There are possibilities to do some hiking and to camp and spend the night under the stars on the beach.

The beautiful white sand beaches licked by turquoise waters offer superb views from morning until sunset. San Salvador Island is famous among tourists (especially locals) for the beauty of its transparent and shallow waters in which it is easy to dive with just a mask and snorkel. The island's seabed and marine biodiversity had been severely damaged by pollution, but the locals took action and today the island is a coral farm and the seabed is protected.

Capones Island is famous for being surrounded by beautiful white sand beaches, on which strange rock formations are piled up. There are also beaches of the same type in caves, but their exploration is reserved only for experienced divers. The other asset of Capones Island is its underwater life, where fishes live side by side with beautiful coral reefs. You can come here for snorkeling or diving and on land, it is also possible to make some hikes, especially to the lighthouse (not accessible).

Black world in summer. It is invaded by many tourists, both foreign and Filipino, who enjoy the crystal clear waters of this beach.
