The beach hosts the annual Kaliguan Festival and offers a laid-back coastal setting with cottages and views of nearby islands.

The beachfront is lined with rentable open cottages, small resorts and food stalls. The area is open and scenic, suitable for swimming, wading, sunbathing and photography, with views of the bay and distant islets. Facilities are basic and the atmosphere is quiet outside festival periods.
