Biri Island is one island in a cluster of about 18 off the northern end of Samar. The island cluster is known as the Balicuartro Islands. You will find Biri Island the most northerly, in the straits which divide the main Island of Luzon and the Island of Samar. This strait is responsible for moving nearly 70% of the water that flows in and out of the Visayas, the strait is known as the San Bernardino Strait. So you can imagine that the tidal current can be ferocious.
Biri Island has been blessed with natural beauty. To the north of Biri is an enormous rock formation called Magasang.
Magasang has been carved by the tools used by nature herself. Winds blasting, monstrous waves have pounded and storms have lashed these rocks to create so incredible formations which need to be seen to be believed. Just down from Magasang is the best natural saltwater pool in the Philippines, Bel-ot. This has also been the location of a number of Filipino movies, it is clear to see why they have chosen this back drop.
Biri Island has also some healthy coral reefs so make sure you bring a face mask, snorkel and fins. You are not able to hire any equipment, there are no dive shops, which is a bit of a pity as I have heard the scuba diving here is awesome.
If you enjoy quiet beaches then Biri Island will definitely not disappoint you, they are gorgeous and you will find yourself on your own, that’s right no hassles from vendors trying to sell you something, which has to be worth the trip.

ReplyDeleteOh, hello there! Maupay nga adlaw! It's great to stumble upon a fellow Waray blogger :)
ReplyDeleteI'm from Northern Samar. Ironically, I have visited various towns provinces around the Philippines but I haven't been to Biri yet. Although it has always been on my list. Now I wonder what's keeping me. Your post is a good reminder for me to push through with the trip, hopefully soon.
Good luck ang God bless. Keep blogging po!
