Volleyball is one of the most loved sports in the Philippines, and an afternoon game on the sand is a big part of beach life in Catanduanes. Join a friendly match with locals or bring your own ball and set up a game with your group.
Best beaches for a game
Wide, soft sand makes for the best courts. The white sand of Twin Rock Beach Resort in Igang, the long shore of Mamangal Beach, and Marilima and Batag beaches near Virac all have room to play, and Puraran is lively in surf season.
Good to know
Play in the late afternoon when the sand is cooler and the sun is lower. Some resorts have nets and balls for guests, so ask at the front desk, and always keep water close; the tropical heat is stronger than it feels.
