Tambobong White Beach and Colibra Island has clear calm waters
and creamy white fine sand beach that can compete with the best beaches in the
country.

Though located in a very remote location, Tambobong White
Beach doesn’t disappoint travelers who are beat from the 9-hour drive (7 hours
if non-stop). The group of 4 friends took a Toyota Yaris for a spin and it
delivered perfectly without issues. Just be sure to pass through the paved
roads in Dasol. Bobonot Barangay hall is the key landmark to remember because it is only a few meters away from the entry to the long road that leads to Tambobong. Also, gas up in Alaminos to be sure you
won’t run out of gas for emergencies. The Dasol route will let you drive
through rolling hills and sharp blind curves but it being the paved way makes
it better than driving through Burgos. The Burgos route leading to Tambobong is
still a rough terrain and is not recommended to tourists even by the locals.
Your home away from home is Tambobong White Beach Resort
(09105641382). Nanay Benilda, the owner, wasn’t around to meet the group but her
staff was more than accommodating. They will cook for you at a very minimal fee
and even take care of your every housekeeping need while you’re there. It’s
just like you are staying in with one of your far relatives –very homey. (Tip: Bring
your own toiletries and bring a mosquito repellent, there’s too many mosquitoes
at night)
