Here, guests can climb the rock formation for a fantastic selfie or simply enjoy a swim in the surrounding waters. Its grandeur invites visitors to get up close and admire its sheer size and beauty.

A highlight of San Narciso Beach is Talisay Beach, known for its pristine white sand and inviting atmosphere. This particular stretch of shoreline offers a softer, more vibrant contrast to the beige-white sands of the main beach. Talisay Beach also features plenty of cottages where visitors can relax and enjoy the view. During low tide, Talisay Beach reveals sandbars that stretch out into the sea, creating a unique opportunity for exploration and relaxation. These sandbars are perfect for a leisurely walk or a refreshing dip in shallow waters.

For those with a sense of adventure, a visit to the private cave near the main beach is a must. Just a short distance from the main shore, this tranquil cave features white sand and provides a unique and peaceful environment. Visitors often find themselves enchanted by this hidden gem and eager to snap pictures of its distinctive charm.

Many visitors follow the lead of local children, taking a leap into the inviting waters below from the large rock formation at the beach. Although this area is somewhat secluded and private, experienced guides are available to assist with navigating the bamboo stairs that lead to this adventurous spot.
