Paguriran Island

Whether during high tide or low tide, there’s always something to see in the famous Paguriran Beach, one of the most popular beach destinations in Bacon, Paguriran Island.

While nearby Caramoan Peninsula may have beaches that boast of unbelievably fine white sand and crystalline waters that can leave everyone with a beach hangover, Sorsogon has something different — unassuming beaches that have little surprises! Visit Paguriran Island, which gives tourists a long stretch of white sand riddled with the most beautiful shells during the low tide, and the most stunning, tempting, aquamarine waters that beckon you to take a dip during high tide. Explore the nearby mangrove area, or visit the famous lagoon where you can interact with the locals, take postcard-worthy snaps, and have a relaxing dip while enjoying the spontaneous showers provided by the crashing waves.
