Catarman White Beach

After visiting Biri Island we went back to Catarman to spend the last few hours before the flight back to Manila. Catarman seems like any other province in the Philippines, laid back, friendly people, and sad to say, a lack of infrastructure. The airport looks awful, it looks like an old parking lot with its cracked walls, broken floors, and poor lighting. But despite ts misgivings, Catarman has a great beach wherein visitors can surf and just enjoy the beach.
I asked the cashier in one of the restaurants I ate in where my friend and I can go to, she said we can go to Fishville or White Beach, we decided to go to White Beach.

White Beach had a long stretch of fine sand, small islets, mangroves, and waves perfect for surfing. The beach had a laid back vibe with only a few huts for local day trippers. There are no restaurants there or any establishment for that matter.

White Beach was a gem indeed. The mangroves, islets, and rustic ambiance create an untouched spectacle. It seems like only the locals knew about this place.
