Binurong Point
About
Think Batanes, but on Happy Island! Binurong Point is a short hike to a green clifftop where rolling hills drop straight into the deep blue Pacific, with grazing cows and wild coastline all around. Walk the traverse trail to the cliff edge for drone-worthy views, sit on the grass and watch the waves crash far below. Locals hire guides who know the trail and the best photo spots. Tip: go at sunrise or late afternoon for soft light and cooler air, wear shoes with good grip because the trail gets muddy, and stay well back from the cliff edge when it is windy.
Rain likely until 1 PM. Head out after.
