While the east coast belongs to the sunrise, the south and west coasts of Catanduanes put on a show at the end of the day. On clear evenings, the sky glows orange and pink over the sea, sometimes with the perfect cone of Mayon Volcano on the horizon.
Best sunset spots
Mamangal Beach and Batag Beach near Virac are easy evening spots, and the rocks and islets of Twin Rock make for great silhouettes. In San Andres, the coast near the Batong Paloway Shrine looks west across the channel toward mainland Bicol.
Good to know
Sunset is around 5:15 to 6:15 PM depending on the season. Arrive 30 minutes early for the best light, bring insect repellent for after dark, and arrange your ride back to town beforehand.
