Mindoro Beach |
While you've probably heard about Vigan's famous tourist spots — Calle Crisologo, The Sinking Bell Tower, its cathedrals, monuments and delicacies — it's worth to know, too, its underrated natural scenically secret spot — Mindoro Beach.
Mindoro Beach or also known as Playa de Oro Beach is located at the heart of Barangay Mindoro in Vigan City. It has a long stretch of semi-fine grayish sand without any construction occlusion. It's merely clear waters peeping from South China Sea, colorful boats of bigueno fishermen, a few bamboo huts, inner peace and generous sunshine to fill your heart and eyes.
