Biri Island Rock Formations
About
Giant rocks na parang galing sa ibang planeta! Biri has seven massive rock formations facing the open Pacific: Magasang, Magsapad, Macadlaw, Puhunan, Bel-at, Caranas and Pinanahawan. Walk out to Bel-at and dip in the clear tidal pools, then hop on a habal-habal to Magasang and Magsapad where huge waves smash against the cliffs. The whole area is the Biri Larosa Protected Landscape and Seascape, so stay on the trails and leave no trash. Go early in the day for softer light and calmer heat, or stay for sunset when the rocks glow gold. Bring cash and enough water for a full day out. Sulit na sulit ang biyahe for the photos alone!
