Dampalitan Beach and Pagbilao Grande Island

Before we went to Borawan, we had a view of the beach front of Tamarind Resort in Barangay Basiao, the jumping off-point to other beach destination in the area.

But since we were in Villa Anita, their beach front was our jump-off point to the other beaches.  Dampalitan is across Borawan, along the coastline of Villa Anita in Padre Burgos.   

Dampalitan Beach is still unspoiled with its white sand and crystal clear water with a back drop of the pine coconut trees.  The Bondoc Peninsula and the rest of Quezon are abundant of coconut trees.  The trees added a tropical and laid back feeling, while we explore the island. 

Dampalitan is also a camper’s site. There are cottages for rent, a common toilet and a store of the caretaker.  The caretakers immediately helped me when they found out I was stung by a jelly fish in Borawan.  I wasn’t able to swim in Dampalitan because after cleaning the portion of my legs with vinegar, my legs started to cramp.
We took a rest in the white sand beach and enjoyed the clear blue sky.



We then headed back to the beach front of Villa Anita to check out.  After which, we rode a jeep and took a tricycle.  We were supposed to go to Kuwebang Lampas and Puting Buhangin, but decided to take a different route near the jump-off point going there.  We found a serene area without the usual campers and tourists who visits the beach area.


I’m not sure what it was called, but there were rock formations, with small caves, and a rocky sand bar.  It is near the Pagbilao Power Station.  Or maybe because we were actually lost that we found a different spot.  Well, somehow it was a good thing, we were able to end our trip finding this gem along Pagbilao Grande.
