Tubahin Beach |
The beach looks brownish but becomes white when the sand gets dried under the sun |
In the far background is the Pagbilao Power Station in Sitio Capalos |
Some outdoor lovers however would prefer to enjoy nature in its natural state, i.e., bare and with no facilities.
A few minutes walk going farther northwest from the resort (about 500meters more) a longer and wider beach exist. Vehicles may be used but can only only reach part of the way and the rest of the access has to be on foot. But why bother with the long hike when this place is always accessible by boat either from Daungan, Bantigue or Maruhi in Angas Point?
The beach is about 150meters long. Best of all - there are no entrance fees (for now). Trees provide shade against the sun. Everything from tents, mats and other gears and provisions must be brought in.

With the camera hugging the ground, the fineness of the sand is seen
A farming family lives in the parcel of land bounded by this beach. Leaving a little amount for clean-up is recommended.
There is no fresh water near the beach, but there are public faucets along the Quipot-Capalos road.
How to get there?
The access to Tubahin Beaches is along the Binahaan-Quipot-Capalos Road which is the access road to Pagbilao Coal-Fired Power Plant. This road branches out from the National Highway; hence, part of the narrative for a nearby feature “kwebang Lampas” is reprinted here: |
||
The concrete road passes thru Brgy. Binahaan. Then, going across the Spillway over Locohin River will take you thru a winding and rolling road within Brgy. Kanlurang Malicboy. In the vicinity of KM8, you can leave the Island of Luzon without having to fly or to swim, because Quipot Bridge is there to connect Brgy. Kanlurang Malicboy in the Luzon mainland and Brgy. Ilayang Polo in Pagbilao Grande Island. |

Do you know that Palsabangon Bridge has a place in World War II history? And it happened on a Christmas Day? |
