The sardine run here is the real show-stopper, and I'd go back just for that. We also saw a fair number of turtles. The beach itself is nothing special and mostly stones rather than soft sand. This is a place for snorkelling and diving.

As others have mentioned, it’s not really a beach - rather a patch of sand by the water. It’s somewhere where you can cool off in the Moalboal heat. You can however go out into the water and see the sardines, and if you’re lucky a few turtles. The coral is pretty much bleached though. If you see a turtle then it’s definitely worth it! We found that the area between Chili Bar and Veranda Kitchen was a good spot for the underwater activity if you swim out about 20m until the cliff edge underwater - this is where the sardines hang out. Life jackets can be hired for 100 pesos, as can snorkel/masks. We saw a good amount of sardines at 4pm or so and then saw two large green turtles at the shore at around 5pm.…

Tourism can ruin places that are not prepared for it and this is one place. It is an aggressive, dirty and unfriendly place with hundreds of young spitting Filipinos hawking. Dirty and trashy streets where they seem to drive at you when you walk. It is the least friendly place I have traveled in the Philippines. It is swarming with young westerners and I can't imagine why they are here or why I am here. Since I arrived everyone shouts as I walk offering overpriced scooters and cyclos and other "things" and in the meantime I am blasted all around by small scooters with broken exhausts to make them sound like big bikes driving at top speed and tooting to get out their way and blasting music everywhere. Some restaurants are good others truly awful and western prices. I can't wait to leave.…

It depends on what your looking for but for me the highlight is the aggressive driving if you walk anywhere, pushy rude street vendors, big bikes with cut off exhausts, mafia types on trikes and bikes, trash everywhere, loud music from many shops and millions of millennials taking selfies. There are some nice restaurants and the diving is good but if you want to meet nice Filipinos and beautiful landscapes this would be my last choice; even after Manila. There is a nicer and more natural environment in Manila on balance.…
