With 25 hamlets, it boasts a rich culture, a colorful past, and delicious cuisine. The municipality, however, is widely famed for its thrilling aquatic adventures, including diving and fishing, to name but a few.

Pose for Insta-worthy photos at the Salag Hanging Bridge and Salag’s Mangrove Park. Other sights, such as Nipa Beach, will stir your soul and leave you in awe. Are you planning on visiting?

Beach life in Tabogon
One of the best beaches you can visit in coastal Tabogon is Nipa Beach. The public beach boasts clear waters and sparkling sand. Just be sure to time your visit to avoid peak hours, when the shoreline gets crowded. On the bright side, I think it would be a great place to get to know both locals and other travelers.
Another option is Bitoon Gamay, literally meaning “small star.” This spot also has clean water but is known for being rocky, so make sure you bring aqua shoes with you.
