Dangkalan Coastal Area




Dangkalan is the most accessible coastal area in Casiguran where most of the seafoods like clams (parek), saltwater mussels (kurapan, sugisog), cockles, shrimps, eels and saltwater fish found at the local market came from.

During low tide, the beach is 80-100 meters drained of seawater. You can see local folks digging for clams and other edible marine bivalve mollusks buried in sand and soft sediments.



At high tide, the beach is ideal for swimming especially for children. It is relatively safe as the water is shallow (knee to waist high). In addition, paddling a small banca with your family or friends along the beach can be an enjoyable and exciting activity. At dusk, the mountains of San Ildefonso look like a work of art - a magnificent canvass!

Jogging or meditating along the shore with the morning mist can really be an uplifting experience. The mountainous scenery and the very calm sea that reflects the early dawn sky can give someone a sense of peace that soothes the tired human spirit. Dangkalan is indeed a good place for relaxation, especially the peaceful quiet morning beach.
