Guimbitayan Beach
A small reef-bound bay on the island’s northwest corner, with rocks to jump from and Lapus-Lapus Island just across the water.
Guimbitayan Beach lies at the northwest corner of Malapascua. It is a small strip of sand wedged between volcanic reef rocks. Several rock ledges of varying heights serve as jumping points, and at high tide the water is deep enough, making it a favorite pastime for young travelers. Lapus-Lapus Island opposite can be reached by snorkeling at low tide. The beach faces west, so it is good for watching the sunset in the evening. Always check the tide level and water depth before jumping, and wear non-slip shoes, as the reef rocks are slippery.
