Valugan Boulder Beach is a unique natural wonder located in Batanes. The beach is characterized by its massive boulders lining the shore, creating a mesmerizing landscape that is unlike the typical sandy beaches. These boulders and stones, varying in size, are believed to be volcanic rocks from a massive eruption hundreds of years ago. The shoreline is a long stretch of boulders and cobbles, making it an interesting place for hopping from one boulder to another, rather than the usual beach walk with footprints being washed away by waves.
The beach is easily accessible as it is located beside the road. The strong, pulsating waves coming from the Pacific Ocean add to the beach's unique charm. Over time, efforts have been made to make the beach more convenient for tourists, although visitors are advised to watch their steps due to the rocky terrain. Despite these improvements, the beach maintains its natural beauty, with the tides and rocks coming together perfectly.
Visitor reviews highlight the unique and mesmerizing landscape of Valugan Boulder Beach, particularly the massive boulders lining the shore instead of the usual sand, which create a remarkable sight and are great for photos. Visitors also appreciate the peaceful ocean views and the convenience for tourists. However, some visitors warn about the strong waves and the need to watch your steps due to the rocky terrain.
