Dingalan Lamao Caves | Aurora Philippines

Dingalan Lamao Caves

Lamao Caves

A dozen caves along the seaside cliff of Paltic, Dingalan, Aurora, Philippines, are constantly pounded by Pacific Ocean waves. A few mini-beaches serve as docking points for bancas and during the calmer months of April to June, one can maneuver a small banca inside the caves. Aside from a small waterfall that trickles outside one of the caves, the site would seem deceptively ordinary.

A close inspection inside one of the caves, however, reveals a delightful natural waterfall gushing from an underground stream. Another cave showers water, giving the impression of an indoor rainstorm. The shore facing the cave steeply descends and is immediately immersed in the deep sea. Rare marine life such as giant turtles and some sharks patrol the area. Local fishermen have spotted more interesting undersea life along the coral reefs a few hundred meters southeast of the caves. The hills that encompass the north and south of the cliff show well-groomed grassland continually caressed by the sea breeze.

Dikasalarin View | Aurora Philippines

Dikasalarin View

Dikasalarin is a secluded cove located about 20 kilometers southeast of the more accessible Sabang beach in Baler. It's a favorite picnic site of the Baler locals and is one of the most beatiful beaches in Aurora. It's accessible via boat or land but there's no road leading directly to the area. By boat it's only a 45-minute ride along the shoreline of Baler. You can start your boat ride from Sabang or the Duongan river, entering the sea through the delta of the Pingit-Kinalapan river at Sitio Castillo, then riding the waves along the shorelines of Cemento and Digisit. Along the way you will have a magnificent view of Baler from the sea, its endless beaches, the coconut-hemmed skyline and gentle mountain slopes. If your boatman is adventurous enough, he can glide your boat between the rocks of Lukso-lukso or take you on a slight detour under the cliffs of the Anyaw island. Then you can marvel at the crystal-clear waters and the bed of corals visible just below the surface. If you reached the point of Cape Encanto where the tip of the mountain is bare but for gently swaying cogon grasses, then Dikasalarin is not that far. From there the boat will take a right turn, glide under the shadow of hundred foot cliffs, roll over 15 foot waves coming from the cove and then - paradise.

Casapsapan Beach

The Casapsapan Beach, an unspoiled beach in Brgy. Culat, is comparable to Boracay when it comes to beauty. Aside from its powdery, white sand and crystal clear, blue water, Casapsapan Beach is also rich in marine life. Different kinds of corals, sea urchins, fishes, crabs and the Casiguran’s pride, the Golden Shell, are very abundant in Casapsapan Beach. The Golden Shell, according to the Casiguranins, can only be found in the town of Casiguran.
