Alapad Pass & Rock Formation
Alapad Rock Formation
Hills and rock formations along the South Batanes coastal road, with grassy slopes dropping down to beaches. A film location and a classic scenic drive.
Alapad lies in Uyugan town in South Batanes, where the coastal road cuts through the hills. Along the roadside are layers of rock and green slopes, with a pebble beach and blue sea below. The area has served as a filming location for Filipino films such as Honeymoon, and visitors often photograph the rocks and winding road from roadside viewpoints. It is usually a stop on the South Batanes loop drive, with about half an hour of stopping time. The roadside is narrow, so watch for passing traffic when taking photos.
