Rizal in Gubat is the only beach in Sorsogon that is at the center of a cove. It’s one of the best pristine beaches in the Philippines, where miles of golden sand surround an extensive shoreline.
It is a long, broad beach located 5 km south of Gubat, Sorsogon. It is close to the turbulent San Bernardino Strait thus the big surfing waves that could thrill swimmers and most especially the surfers. The grey-sand beach itself is long and is at the center of a cove surrounding an extensive shoreline. Some say it is the best beach in Sorsogon and it is an ideal place for boating, swimming and beach combing.
Facing the Pacific Ocean, this place isn’t as developed as one might think, which is actually good in some way. Although resorts have sprouted in its vicinity (old Duana resort and new places like Vera Maris) where travellers and vacationeers can stay the night, the rawness of the place have been somewhat preserved.
To date, there is still no entrance fee to the swimming public and although there is paid parking for your vehicles, cottages can still be rented (about 500 pesos/cottage/day) on a first-come, first-served basis.
But if you’re like us, we went at around 3 pm and stayed until almost six. Thus, no need for a cottage, just for a nice relaxing dip and play on the beach.

Rizal Beach – The nicest place in Gubat and famous to its surrounding towns throughout the Bicol peninsula, is one of the best picnic spots for locals and visitors alike. This underdeveloped haven with 3 kilometers of fine ivory sand is perfect for a swimming beach. Although the sand is not as white as from Boracay’s, it’s good enough to let it touch wet swimsuits and skins.
There are resorts available in the area where travelers can spend their days and nights, relaxing and exploring at the same time. The most known resorts are Rizal Beach Resort and Vera Maris. Cottages can also be rented if overnight is not on the plan during stay.
The presence of strong winds along the beach made its waves good for surfing and skim boarding which are becoming popular among the locals nowadays. Read More: https://discovergubat.wordpress.com/2009/12/18/rizal-beach/
