It's Tutubi's second time on the beach being touted as one of the best surfing beach for beginners. The local surfing school offers surfing classes for those who want to learn the rudiments of the exciting water sport.
Bagasbas beach's long stretch of fine gray sand with waves good for newbie surfers. Men undergoing lifeguard training ala Baywatch 
one of the rare times Tutubi saw a surfer on a surfboard for a brief photo opportunity 
soon-to-be lifeguards playing Ultimate Frisbee on the beach After the mandatory picture taking and mingling with the friendly locals who even lent the group their surfboards for photo opportunity, a hearty "dinner" ensued at K Sarap restaurant and went grocery shopping in preparation for the major event of the trip to a secluded beach i.e. touted as better than Bora...
How to get to Bagasbas Beach, Daet, Camarines Norte:
From Manila, take Superlines, Daet Express, Philtranco, or Raymond Transportation bus to Daet.
Take a tricycle to Bagasbas Beach, it's just a tricycle ride away from Daet town proper.

nice photos of the surfer and frisbee actio :)
ReplyDeletethe sand of Bagasbas is like the grey version of Bora's.
i like the pictures. i hope i can visit that place soon. ang daming nadidiscover na beach sa bicol area ha :)
ReplyDeletewaah! nawala comment ko..
ReplyDeletenice pictures. and nice place :)
i like these types of beaches more. you tend to focus on the beauty of beach itself and not the surrounding beach culture of porma, booze and partying.
ReplyDeletebig waves!
ReplyDeletehappy mother's day to your wife (if you're married) and to your mom, tutubi! =D
I spent some time on the beach today. Great fun and atmosphere. I like the variation in your photos here.
ReplyDeleteI see how pristine the beach could be. Maybe, it could be the next big thing, just like Bora had been once before.
ReplyDeleteweddingglitters, yes, the sand's fine but grey. i don't want beaches like this go the way of bora
ReplyDeletetin-tin, moderated na kasi comments ko akala mo lang nawala. tnx :P
oliver, i don't like the crowd, i also prefer palces like this than bora. i have an upcoming post on a pristine beach nearby do return soon
acey, not that big actually but still waves feared by some yet loved by surfers. thanks. i need to call my mom too
pieterbie, yes. sometimes it reminds me of sidney to focus on the locals living there not just on the view to complete the travel and culture picture :P
major tom, bagasbas can never be as great as bora, IMHO. i prefer it that way. people come to bora more for the partying and stuff. bagasbas is very laid back and not for beach bumming since there the danger of undercurrent so newbie swimmers beware
That beach looks inviting, is it normally that quiet there, not over crowded? my kind of place to relax!
ReplyDeleteNice surfer and frisbee action shots!
Nice naman ang mga pics...

Excellent photography, Tutubi! Your travelogue makes me want to got there sometime soon :)
ReplyDeleteWow, I love your slideshow Tutubi! My family and I have been there in 2000 for my parents' 40th anniversary. We had so much fun. My siblings surfed but I only used the body board (I'm the klutz in the family.) :) That is a great place. But what a loooong drive from Manila. :)
ReplyDeleteOh wow Tutubi... very nice place! At a-la Baywatch ito! Did you also surfboard?
ReplyDeleteLovely beach photos! Inggit ako...I love that children of BAgasbas photos from the slideshow, sobrang innocent.
ReplyDeletethess, not much people and no sign of commercialism unlike bora

I've been to Bagasbas. The beach and the waves are good but the 20+ "beerhouses" lined along the beach is really an eyesore. Super dami and buhay-na-buhay to think that we were there on a good friday (holy week). Can't enjoy the night at the beach because lots of "pokpoks" were keep on coming to my place to offer their stuff. hahaha what a holy week we had there.
ReplyDeleteYou guys seem to be having a lot of fun down there. The beach looks great and the lifeguard scene is definately a step in the right direction. I hope you get lots of crew down there to boost your local economy and create a cool safe surf scene there. I'll be down there soon and hope to meet you guys.

Daet is on my list of surfing spots to visit. :D
ReplyDeleteIts so nice here.....Every summer vacation my family are going in here.....We wake up at 5:00 am to watch the
ReplyDeletesunrise......
any driving school in daet?
ReplyDeletei must agree, Bagasbas has a lot to promise, and even the Calaguas, it's so pristine and yes, it could really surpass Boracay's thought about beauty...I just hope that it doesn't get exploited like that of Boracay..By the way tutubi, nice blog and pictures! and I'm very fond of Camarines Norte especially Daet because it's where my roots are. :) Kudos!
ReplyDeletewow! look at those waves! great for surfing activities! good thing i'll be there this weekend. :)
