The beaches—Panagsama Beach or Basdiot, and White Beach or Basdaku—are about 5 kilometers from the highway and can be reached by tricycle (Php20 per person) or habalhabal (motorcycle).
Bas means sand, diot means small, daku means big.
Though there is little to no sand in Basdiot, there are many resorts and dive shops in this area. Most visitors to Basdiot are divers.

At the northern end of Basdaku
Basdaku can get pretty crowded especially during summer. If you are allergic to crowds, pick accommodations on the north end of Basdaku—from Ravenala to Bigsand. Another option, though not directly on White Beach but at the very end where there is no more sand, is Hale Manna [(032) 316 2603, rooms start at Php3800], a relaxing resort with spacious gardens.
More options, more fun in Moalboal =)
ReplyDeleteWas looking for a place to crash in Moalboal. This post was just a day late. 😁
ReplyDeleteOooppps, sorry, too late!
DeleteHi.. Regarding Delgado's Beach House. I'm kind of hesitant to pay them for the amount of 4k good for one day stay of a family, but it's too expensive man as a reservation. In bigsands, we were only able to pay 1k as reservation for their big room and we stayed there for 4D3N last year.
ReplyDeleteHello were that place for cheap haus?plzzzzz reply
Deleteada na ang bigsands sir
DeleteHello Mustached friend! Permission to use this blog link for my blog post, thank you! :D
ReplyDeleteSure Agent Paupau! :)
DeleteHi, are these room rates and mobile phone #'s updated?
ReplyDeleteHi. Information was as of June 2015.
DeleteI like your blog as it is detailed and not common compared to other blogs. Yours is so informative that you put rates and contact numbers. There are a lot of activities to do in Moalboal and there are really a lot of resorts to choose from. For tourists, visiting this place is breathtaking and good to relax at. To add more adventure, you can rent a motorbike or scooter at book2wheel.com . This is way better than riding on a bus or taxi.
ReplyDeleteThank you Larry. book2wheel sounds interesting!
Deleteyes it is. the website connect the people. sine a lot of motorbike owner does not have their website. it is perfect plat forum for people who wish to share their motorbike
DeleteHi, is it possible to pay only for the entrance fee since we're bringing our own tents? And is it ok to have bonfire in the area?
ReplyDeleteHi Jaharah. Yes, just pay the entrance fee, but it might also depend where you camp (not sure if some areas charge for camp space). As for bonfire, I have not tried it nor asked around about it nor have I seen people make a bonfire at Basdaku.
DeleteThank you mustachio for you info. 😊
Deletehi, which beaches in moalboal we can bring our own tent and just pay for the entrance?
DeleteHi, Im planning to go to basdaku this weekend but I will not stay overnight, where can you recommend me to stay ? thanks..
ReplyDeleteHi Bryan! If you're just going for a day trip, you don't need to go to any of the resorts...they all share the same beach :) But if you're looking for a resort, Hale Manna (though not on Basdaku but on the end of Basdaku where they have sand only on low tide) has a day use rate which includes the use of their pool, kayak, snorkel and mask, etc.
DeleteOk pa ning mag rent og tent?
ReplyDeleteHi Gel. Please contact the Campground. I have posted the contact number(s) above.
DeleteHi. Yung ibang resort nag paparent din ng tent except, bigsand & campground?
ReplyDeleteHi. Sorry, I don't know. Kindly call the resort(s) to inquire. Numbers are posted above.
DeleteHi I just want to ask where did you stay in Basdaku? Saan banda yung Magic's Place? Does it have a nice beachfront?
ReplyDeleteNabasa ko sa iba blogs na pangit daw ang beach sa Ester's, mabato. I think sa dulo na ba sya kaya ganun? Can you recommend us where is the best place to stay. Thank you :)
Hi. Thanks for visiting my blog. I usually stay at the far end of White Beach, from Ravenala to Bigsand, because it is less crowded...and I just walk the stretch and find a nice spot for a swim. While you're in Moalboal, I recommend you go boating. Check out this link for the wonders that await you in Moalboal's waters: http://mustachioventures.blogspot.com/2015/07/marine-life-moalboal-snorkeling-boating.html
DeleteHi i wanna ask if its possible for day use in ravenala?
ReplyDeleteHi. Please call the resort to inquire. Contact number(s) have been posted above.
DeleteHi! Can you recommend me a name of the beach na pwede magdala ng tent and foods? And may bayad ba if we'll bring our tents?
ReplyDeleteHi! Thanks for visiting the blog. A lot of people camp near HK Resort/Sandy Land/Magic's Place. Not sure how much they charge for space. But if you want to stay inside a resort, then Bigsand Resort and Campgrounds definitely would allow that. Not sure with other resorts, better call them and inquire. Contact numbers are listed above.
Deleteokay ra dri mag tent for 2 nights?
ReplyDeleteHi Francis. Perme man ko makakita daghan magtent ra, so I guess okay ra. Just keep watch over your valuables :D
DeleteHi.can i ask?naay room nga affordable lng sa basdaku good for 6 psrson
DeletePuede paba mag tent sa basdaku karon?
DeleteHi. Nag plano mi mo adto basdaku this weekend. Overnight ra. D mi sure kung mag da ba mi food. Naa ba mapalitan ddto? And naa kaha maabangan og tent ddto?
ReplyDeleteHi Snapshots. Naa ra mga carenderia luyo sa Sandy Land. Naa pud mga barbecuehan sa beachfront. Re tent, sure ko naa sa Bigsand Campgrounds, pero suwayi lang sad ask sa Sandy Land, Sally's Cottages, ug Magic's Place kay perme ko makakita ug mga ga tent diha...
DeleteThanks sa info. One last question. What time manira mga caribderia ora mga food vendor? Kay basin maabot mi didto mga 10 to 11pm na
DeleteWala ko kabalo unsa orasa sila manira pero most likely closed na gyud na, or kung abli pa man, drinks nalang siguro ang baligya kay nahurot na ang sud-an :D Pwede mo mangaon sa Basdiot, naay daghan restaurant/bar didto.
DeleteHello there, duon lang sa northern part ang may mga puno mostly ng camping ground na nakikita ko ay open area walang shade.. puwede ba duon mag pitch ng tent sa mga resorts sa northern area? salamat kaayo sa pagsagot.
ReplyDeleteHi Daniel. I think some resorts would allow, but to be sure, please contact them at the numbers posted above.
DeleteNaa ba tay maabangan nga tent duol sa area? Thanks
ReplyDeleteHi Ped. Ro, sorry for the late reply. Please try and inquire from the first five accommodations on the list kay diha ko perme makakita na naay gatent. Thanks.
DeleteWhere can I rent some tents? Furthermore, what's a nice camping site?
ReplyDeleteHi Mhenard. Please call and inquire from the first five accommodations listed above, that's where I usually see people camp. If you want to be away from the crowd and in a gated area, try Bigsand Resort and Campgrounds, the last one on the list above.
DeleteHi sir, kanang ang mga rooms ky duol ra sa beach? First time ko mo adto, salamat kaau kita ko sa imkng blog
ReplyDeleteHi Kniel. Puro ni by the beach, ga laray ni sila along White Beach.. Salamat.
DeleteHi sir ang Bigsand naa jud sya sa white sand? or close area ra ni?
ReplyDeleteYes, kani tanan naa sa White Beach...except, as mentioned in the post, Hale Manna.
DeleteHi sir, ask lang ko.. This will help. Is there a common cr para sa mag tent lang?thank you
ReplyDeleteHi Cherry. I don't know, but I am almost positive the first five accommodations (that's the area where I see a lot of people camping) in my above list will have a toilet that campers can use for a fee.
DeleteHi sir good pm. Ask lng ko if naa clay open cottage for day use lang? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHi. There are open cottages for day use from the first five I have listed above.
DeleteHi, kung magdala rami tent naay charge ang space? Thanks!
ReplyDeletePlease call the resort where you plan to camp out. Numbers are listed above.
DeleteHello! Okay ra ba didto ang walk in? Kana dli na mag pay ug any cottage?
ReplyDeleteThanks
hi Sir.. pwede ask unsa ma recommend nimo na resort? overnight stay mi with baby..
ReplyDeleteI have only stayed in Delgado's and Hale Manna so I can't really recommend the others. But between the two, I would recommend Hale Manna.
Deletehi if we have our own tent is there anything to pay when we stay?
ReplyDeleteHi. I am not sure. Most people set up camp near the first five accommodations I have listed above. I'm guessing they'll charge a small fee for space. And if you want to use the bathroom, there'll be a fee too. Please call the above numbers to inquire.
Deletegood day,
ReplyDeleteask ta ko maka sulod raba dool sa beach ang mga 4 wheels car?
Depende kung asa ka magstay, naay mga resorts/accommodations na naay parking area.
DeleteHi! Help please! Anyone who knows where can we rent a tent for 2pax? Appreciate info!
ReplyDeletePlease call numbers posted to inquire.
DeleteOk po bang Amin Ang tent at we will stay there overnight?
ReplyDeleteYes, it's okay to bring your own tent. Depending on where you'll setup camp, there might be a fee.
DeleteWala po bang bayad if may dala ka Ming tent?
ReplyDeleteDepends where you camp.
DeleteAsa dapit ang way bayad if magtukod ug tent? Ana sila 1k daw bayad kung magtukod
DeleteUnsay nindot na room diha for 2pax sir kanang affordable
ReplyDeletePilay bayad if naay kaugalingong tent?
ReplyDeleteDepends where you camp I guess. Naay portion diha na daghan ga tent so I am guessing that area's either free or minimal fee lang...
DeleteHi, open na ba ang white beach basdaku? And pwede ra ba gihapon mag tent? Thank you so much :)
ReplyDeleteHi. Which is better between HK Beach Resort, Ester's Place & Delgado's Beach Resort? Am after the cleanliness of the room & beach. Thanks.
