Dicasalarin Cove – Amazing Beach in Aurora



 

 

DICASALARIN COVE

 

 

 

Dicasalarin Cove in Baler, Aurora province (Luzon, northern Philippines) is a secluded white sand beach where the verdant Sierra Madre foothills meet the Pacific Ocean (Source:  Waypoint). Dark, thickly forested hills contrast with the striking white shoreline.

There are no resorts and visitor facilities on this fine stretch of sand. A freshwater river, flowing from the mountains beyond, trickles out to the sea. Dicasalarin Cove’s stunning, rugged beauty and relative isolation certainly make it one of Baler’s best-kept secrets.

Aside from a boat trip, adventurous visitors to this cove say that hiking to Dicasalarin is one of the best ways to go. The adventure will bring the visitor through most of Baler’s villages, a climb to a hilltop weather station where the vistas are breathtaking, through lush forests, along rocky shores and finally to the desolate beach where the beauty is as rough as the crashing waves of the Pacific.

Visitors can charter a motorised boat from Sabang to Dicasalarin Cove. The trip takes about 45 minutes and offers a view of the Baler coastline.  Read More:  https://365greatpinoystuff.wordpress.com/2010/05/30/150-dicasalarin-cove/

Dicasalarin Cove is still almost unheard of, making it one of baler’s best kept secrets. It is a secluded cove with a white sandy beach, a unique lighthouse atop a hill, a piece of the Sierra Madre’s lovely mountainscape and a seemingly endless, spectacular view of the Pacific Ocean. So if you desire serenity at its finest, then a visit to this cove is a must when you are in Baler.  Read More:  https://roamulofied.wordpress.com/2015/05/18/dicasalarin-cove-aurora-ph/

Though it is possible to take a short boat ride along Aurora?s rough coastal waters, hiking to Dicasalarin is the way to go. The adventure will entail passing through most of Baler?s barangays, climbing up to a hilltop weather station where the vistas are breathtaking, tramping through lush forests, scrambling across rocky shores and finally to the desolate beach where the beauty is as rough as the crashing waves of the Pacific.  Read More:  http://boyetstour.blogspot.com/2012/12/dicasalarin-cove-baler.html#.WMzCr6K1taQ
