Matabungkay Beach is a white sand beach reasonably accessible to Manila (120 km or so).
It has a small coral reef about 50 meters from the low tide mark in the center of the cove which diverts the incoming waves beautifully and creates some that on good days you could body surf on.
Matabungkay is touted as the finest beach around Manila. The water is clean and it is possible to hire floating bamboo picnic huts anchored out over the reef, which are good bases for snorkeling and generally kicking back.
The package of having a beautiful sunset, white beach, and the provincial atmosphere made Matabungkay a drive-away beach destination for tourists coming from Manila.
Some local visitors bring their own barbeque sets and cook their food the way they want at the beach or at their rented open cottages. Others spend their day barbecuing on the shaded raft floating several meters off the shore. These floating sheds are rented out by villagers which they remark a purely Matabungkay way of picnicking.
For upscale tourists, they can choose from luxurious resorts located along the right strip of the beach.
