About

The Sanctuary Cove is located on the South China Sea (part of Pacific ocean) and it is in the 150th place out of 167 beaches in the Mimaropa region 399.5 km away from its center, the city of Calapan. It is one of the beaches of Bunuangin settlement, just 7.2 km from its center. The beach is located in a natural place, among the mountains. It is partially covered by trees which give natural shade.

It is a spacious coastline with crystal turquoise water and bright sand, so it is recommended to wear special shoes. The sharpness of entering the water is quite normal. This beach is suitable for different categories of people, lonely travellers, relaxation getaway lovers, hikers etc. It is almost deserted place even during the high season.

The Sanctuary Cove coast is free for all. It has no amenities, only nature. .

In addition to swimming and sunbathing, you can also take part in other activities.

4 more beaches are also available within a 5 km radius. The best one is Pena Plata Beach, which has a rating of 8.

The Sanctuary Cove (Mimaropa) is located outside the Bunuangin settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.

The beach stretches on the coast of the Palawan island and the correct question is not how to get to The Sanctuary Cove, but what mode of transport can be used to get to it, because this part of the coast is inaccessible by land. The beach can only be reached by water and you have to rent a boat to get there.
