The virgin white sand beaches of Dicotcotan is probably Isabela’s best-kept secret. Its coastline is very much exposed to swell and strong waves from the Pacific Ocean, perfect not only for swimming, but also for surfing.

If you are planning to stay here for a few days, there are available cottages for rent. Whilst the whitesand is fine and the sea is generally calm that creates the bays making these beaches ideal for children. Dicotcotan is a Palanan word meaning “to sink” due to the softness of the sand that causes one’s feet to sink or to be immersed in it, leaving a deep trail of footsteps.
