About Pasacao Beach
Pasacao Beach is a long coastal beach in the municipality of Pasacao on the western coast of Camarines Sur in the Bicol Region, facing the Ragay Gulf. Known for its brown to grayish sand, calm waters and views of nearby islands, it serves as both a local fishing shoreline and a casual swimming area. The beach is lined with fishing boats, small resorts and cottages, and is adjacent to Pasacao Port, the main gateway to Burias Island.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a long, open shoreline of brownish-gray sand along the Ragay Gulf with calm to moderate waters, fishing boats pulled ashore and small outrigger boats in the water. The beachfront is lined with modest cottages, small resorts and food stalls, with views of Daruanak Island and sunset over the gulf. The area is primarily a local community beach for swimming, beachcombing, photography and watching fishing activity, rather than a developed resort strip.
