The Philippines is indeed a “Perlas ng Silanganan” for its majestic and beautiful destinations that tourists must include in their bucket lists from different landscapes to one of a kind beaches all over the country. Here are the top 10 beaches that tourists must visit in the Philippines:
- Coron, Palawan
Wreck diving is one of Coron’s most popular sports. It is the best wreck diving location in the country. Japanese shipwrecks from WWII dot the coast of Coron and make excellent diving destinations. Some of the better sites may be found at the Lusong Gunboat, which is also the ideal place to see the famous Coral Garden.
- Masasa Beach, Batangas
Masasa Beach is located on the island of Tingloy, which is less than an hour’s drive from Anilao Port. Its waters are rich in marine life due to their closeness to the Verde Island Passage, which is the richest area of the entire Coral Triangle and is regarded as the heart of the world’s marine biodiversity.
