Baybay Beach

Baybay Beach is a public coastal beach located in Barangay Baybay, Mercedes, Camarines Norte in the Bicol Region of the Philippines. Situated along the shores of San Miguel Bay, it is known for its long stretch of dark sand, fishing boats, and views toward nearby islands. The beach serves as a local leisure area and a jump-off point for island-hopping tours to islands off Mercedes, offering a quiet, community-based coastal setting.

Visitors can expect a long, open shoreline with grayish-brown sand facing San Miguel Bay, lined with fishing boats and small outrigger bancas. The setting is simple and community-oriented rather than resort-developed, with views of nearby islands such as Apuao Grande and Canton. Areas for walking, wading, and photography are available, along with small cottages and food stalls. The beach is also used as a staging area for boat tours to the islands off Mercedes.
