The 2nd destination that i will feature in my ExploreCamNorte series is the place that is very close to my heart (and in our house) because of a lot of memories that I've gathered throughout my life, the Pulang Daga beach in my hometown, Paracale, Camarines Norte.
Pulang Daga means "Red Land".
The beach is a few kilometers away from the town center, around 20 minutes tricycle ride, expect a bumpy ride. But to adventurous people like me, i highly suggest to try trekking when going to this beach. 45 minutes of trekking is a little bit tiring, but the views of the landscape from the Paracale Bay, the mountain ranges and the expectation and excitement reaching the beach refuels my tired body.

I've been in the shores of Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte and i can say that the they have similarities in terms of the color and texture sand and the shore's curve (i'm sorry i dont know that the right word to use). The only advantage of Pagudpud in Pulang Daga is there are hotels/resorts that can accommodate the visitors/tourist.

The town is rich in gold, but this is not a long tern income generating job. I hope that someday, someone will invest in developing and protection of this ecotourism site. Everyone in this town will benefit, the investors, business establishments, residents(because of jobs generated), and the government(taxes). Yes, tourism causes "Multiplier effect".
The usual scene in the beach every Easter Sunday. |
Hopefully i can make a change. I don't have any wealth to be an investor. But i am a travel Blogger.
hmmm. I support you! mining might bring ka-ching.. but it will slowly diminish our mother nature.
ReplyDeleteI love your landscape photos, and I also remember the beach in my hometown being filled with beach-goers every Easter Sunday and New Year's Day :)
ReplyDeletei was about to say 'what a great beach that has not been exploited yet,' and then i saw the easter sunday photo. hahaha! great landscape photos!
