Dicasalarin Cove

A private property of Sen. Angara, this secluded attraction is perfect for families or groups who fancy a relaxing and quiet beach experience in Baler but with the complete package of still having an opportunity to surf those huge waves!

View of Dicasalarin Cove from the entrance

For a fee of 300 pesos per head for walk-in, or 100 pesos per pax if you're staying at Bahia de Baler or Costa Pacifica, you can enjoy a more quiet and relaxing time at Baler.

Picnic tables and Cottages

The place has cottages, hammocks, and picnic tables where you can dine or just relax. There is also available equipment for grilling, so you can grill fresh seafoods or meat products, etc. They also have shower rooms and comfort rooms. You can also take photos at some attractions in the place like the Senator's house, by the lake, a tree house, etc.

Family Photo with the Rocks

You can also order pancit or oven-baked pizza. They offer two pizza toppings: Hawaiian or Longganisa. I preferred the taste of the Longganisa pizza. The pizza was about 12 inches in diameter, with a thin but chewy crust.

Walking by the beach

Do Not 'Swimm'

The sand in the beach is quite white. You can surf or swim with the big waves, wade along the rocks by the beach, or cool yourself by swimming in the river beside the beach.

View of the Cove from the top of the hill

There's a lighthouse built on top of a hill at the far right corner of the mouth of the cove. You can walk towards it, and climb around 180 paved steps to the top to get a glimpse of 360 degrees of Baler beauty. The hill also has a cave below the lighthouse, and it has a lagoon inside. But the water is deep, so it is advised that you have salva vida or other floatation devices before you enter the lagoon. However, due to the sudden and unpredictable surge of the tide, staff of the cove advise against visiting the lagoon.

The Lighthouse

We went here early in the morning, so we had the place all to ourselves. By lunch time, people were already pouring into the cove. If you fancy a more private time, go here early and then you can leave by 2 or 3 pm after lunch time to explore other attractions in Baler. You need a ride to enter the property since the road to the cove is private, one way, quite narrow and zigzagged.
