Nagbalayong Beach is a peaceful destination located in the town of Morong, Bataan province. It’s a long stretch of seven kilometres of grey sand, free of bustling tourist resorts and rowdy beachgoers.
For those who appreciate nature’s beauty, Nagbalayong Beach is a dream come true. With stunning views of the ocean, you can relax in the sand, take a peaceful walk along the shore, or go for a dip in the cooling waters. The diving is excellent here, with plenty of fascinating creatures to explore.
But the real star of Nagbalayong Beach is its Pawikan Conservation Centre. As one of the designated nesting grounds for sea turtles, the centre is dedicated to conserving this majestic species. Here, you can catch a glimpse of the adorable Pawikans as they lay their eggs or participate in beach patrols.
Aside from the Pawikan Conservation Centre, Nagbalayong Beach is also home to a fishing community. If you’re looking to experience the real Bataan, pay a visit to the local fishermen as they work their traditional fishing traps. Or maybe try your hand at fishing yourself by renting a boat.
