Casapsapan Beach
About
A 2.5 km curve of fine, pale sand backed by jungle, with turquoise Pacific water rolling in: Casapsapan is the reward at the end of a long road! This is Casiguran's most famous beach, far up the Aurora coast, and it rarely feels crowded. Swim and snorkel in the bay when it's calm, camp under the trees, walk to the Casapsapan River mouth at the southeast end and explore the mangroves. Sunrise here is unreal. It's more than 10 hours from Manila, so make it a long weekend!
Dry until sunset (5:27 PM). Good time to go!

Know before you go
The municipality recommends a local guide at all times for safety.
Swim only when the sea is calm; Pacific swells build in the habagat and typhoon months.
Check current news before the trip; an NPA clash displaced residents in nearby Dipaculao in 2023.
Parking at the beachfront resorts and campsites.
Resorts and campsites charge their own day-use and tent fees. Bring cash, as Casiguran has only one ATM.
