Rizal Beach (Gubat)

Sorsogon is gradually gaining popularity as a province with some of the most beautiful beaches in the Philippines and even the world which includes: Rizal, Subic, Tikling, Dancalan, Libanon, Tolong-Gapo and Cawit White Beach to name a few. The extensive coastline stretches hundreds of kilometers that are definitely some of many reasons why the province has become one of the most favorite destinations for tourists and backpackers alike.  

One beach that has surged in popularity is Rizal Beach which is located in Gubat Bay, Sorsogon City that is characterized by a long and wide beach coastline comprised of fine grain sand that varies from light beige to white and is surrounded lush green vegetation of Gubat. It faces the blue seas of the Pacific Ocean with its crystal clear water and huge waves.

What makes Rizal Beach a preferred tourist destination are the waves which are ideal for surfing. Just like Baler, learning to surf here is very inexpensive compared to other surf spots around the world. The town’s surfers have organized themselves into a club (Gubat Bay Surfers) and have given surfing lessons to everyone who are interested to learn surfing.
