Kaputian Beach Park
About
Samal's big public beach, and a total steal! Kaputian has a long curve of pale sand, turquoise shallows and huge shade trees over rows of cottages, all for a tiny entrance fee. It feels like a local beach day, not a fancy resort: grill, swim, nap, repeat. From above, the bright reef and white beach look straight out of a postcard!
Dry until sunset (5:20 PM). Good time to go!
