Valugan Boulder Beach
Valugan Beach
A beach on the east coast of Basco, covered with rounded boulders. The stones come from an ancient eruption of Mount Iraya, and the thunderous sound of the Pacific waves crashing against them is impressive.
Valugan Boulder Beach lies about 4 kilometres east of Basco on the Pacific side of the island. The coast has no sand, only layers of rounded andesite boulders, said to come from an eruption of Mount Iraya several hundred years ago and polished smooth by the waves. When the surf is high, the waves crash against the boulders with a roar. In the early morning you can watch the Pacific sunrise here, with Mount Iraya clearly visible in the distance. Currents are dangerous and swimming is prohibited. Take care when walking on the stones, as they are slippery.
