On the east coast, strong winds make Bulabog Beach a hub for kite boarding and other extreme water sports enthusiasts. During Low Season, Bulabog Beach is also the site for water sports activities. Located nearby is an observation deck at Mount Luho, that offers amazing panoramic views of the island. Offshore, you will find coral reefs and shipwrecks, home to diverse marine life. The island also has several other beaches, which are less crowded than the White Beach. The most popular among these other beaches are Puka Beach and Hinugtan Beach.
