Subic Beach - Imagine waking up from an afternoon nap in a traditional Filipino nipa hut with the soft breeze blowing in from the beachside and pink sand waiting just outside your doorway. This is how the day starts on Subic Beach in Matnog Sorsogon in the Bicol region. It is not as popular as other beaches in the Philippines but it is usually a stop on island-hopping tours in the region.

The clear blue water is ideal for snorkeling, but be sure to bring any gear you need with you. The pink hue of the sand is one of the highlights of this beach because it completes the ambience of paradise. There are some independent cottages to rent nearby, but many visitors prefer to stay in resorts like the Vitton & Woodland Beach Resorts in the more populated areas on the mainland in Luzon and make day visits to Subic Beach.
