For sunset, one good spot is the Chanarian beach, a few minutes away from town proper of Basco. It’s a long stretch of light black sand and pebble beach suited for refreshing dips and sunset viewing. What makes it unique is the interesting stone stacks near the beach.  Read More:  http://www.choosephilippines.com/go/islands-and-beaches/2042/15-must-visit-spots-batanes-eric-banes

 

Chanarian View Deck

Batanes has always been compared to Ireland when it comes to its cliffs. Though I myself haven’t been there, I know a couple of friends who has been there and had told me that the Cliffs of Batanes does remind them of Ireland. When in tour in Batanes, one of the favorite stops along the road is the Chanarian Viewdeck where you can have a closer inspection of the cliffs.

Chanarian Viewdeck is just a short drive south west of Basco before you enter the town of Mahatao. Just between the zigzagging road of Hanib and Mahatao. You wont miss the cemented view deck and benches on your right coming from Basco.

There are cemented stairs going down the cliffs. A lot has been damaged though so it is best to be careful when going down as some of the rocks and cemented steps are loose.  Read More:  https://www.ironwulf.net/2008/08/15/batanes-cliffs-of-chanarian/

 

Chadpidan Beach

On the western edge of Batan Island is its twin, Chadpidan Beach. Like Valugan, it is filled with boulders that were spewed by the nearby Mt. Iraya centuries ago and were eventually polished and smoothed by the tides and the monstrous waves of the West Philippine Sea (South China Sea). Chadpidan means “west” in the Ivatan language; Valugan means “east.”

 Chadpidan Beach is just a tricycle or motorcycle ride away from Basco Airport or town proper. Bicycles are also available. This may also be included in some North Batan tours. Simply tell your guide that you want to see Chadpidan Beach too.    Read More:  https://www.philippinebeaches.org/chadpidan-boulder-beach-batanes-tour-rates/
