BEACHES IN MASBATE

I had seen some photos of Masbate beaches previously, but I had no idea they would be this incredible. My friend Edward told me that, after a friend visited Port Vega (above), she told him it was just as nice as Sugar Beach in Bantayan Island, Cebu. I laughed, thinking how impossible that is, but then our boat pulled up to the scene below. It really is true!

More than 12 years after the Buntod Reef Marine Sanctuary was opened to the public in 2001, this piece of paradise amid the sea is now the top tourist destination in the island-province of Masbate. The sanctuary has a 250-hectare white sandbar and is located in the sea waters off Barangays Nursery and Tugbo. The Buntod Reef Marine Sanctuary is one of the best destinations in the province frequently visited by local and foreign tourists.

The sanctuary is home to pelagic fishes but fishing is strictly prohibited in this area. It is classified as No. 2 most resilient marine sanctuary on climate change adaptation in Central Philippines. It accentuates the eco-tourism aspect of the so called Albay-Sorsogon-Masbate (Almasor) alliance created by the Bicol Regional Development Council.

The Buntod Marine Sanctuary is home to unique marine life forms and beautiful coral gardens, making it also an ideal diving spot for snorkeling, scuba diving and bird watching. The sandbar has nipa huts and cottages for tourists. Today, this reef is considered as one of the top marine sanctuaries in the country.

Another beach destination in Masbate that was made famous by a tragic accident (the death of former Interior Secretary Jesse Robredo, whose plane crashed off the coast of this resort), Lasala Beach served as the command post for the rescue and recovery attempts. The resort has quaint cottages and huts, which tourists can rent at truly affordable rates.
