BAGASBAS BEACH
This beach isn't the most beautiful beach I've ever seen but when you go here, it feels like home. This is the perfect place to sit still, enjoy the sound of the waves, and think about things. Bagasbas beach has a lot of food stall around the area. It also offer surfing because this beach creates awesome waves that you'll surely enjoy. It also has a lighthouse resort to drink, chill and sleep. Once you leave, you'll have a peace of mind and heart.
Budget: (If you're from Daet) 200 to 500 pesos.
PATITINAN BEACH
White sand and blue water, these are the things that made Patitinan Beach beautiful. It's a less than an hour drive from Naga City, once you arrive there will be a 20 minute hike towards the beach. It may be tiring but all the sweats are paid off once you see the crystal clear water of the beach.
Budget: (If you're from Naga) 300 to 500 pesos.
LIGNON HILL
Once you're on the top of the hill, fresh air and the beautiful view will pay-off the tiring more than 30 minute hike. You'll be able to see the whole Legazpi in this place and it's breathtaking.
Budget: (If you're from Naga) 500 to 1000 pesos.
DEER FARM
This is one of the best adventure you'll ever do in your entire life. It's something unusual. You'll surely have fun having time with the friendly deers, the care taker also sells foods for you to experience how to feed the deers. At first it's frightening because all of them will go to you, but they're harmless and eventually you'll get comfortable with them. (Takbo takbo ka habang dala dala yung pagkain, hahabulin ka nila ((atleast, may naghahabol sayo. charot))
Budget: (If you're from Naga) 300-500 pesos.
PINEAPPLE RESORT
I love the slides and the pools of this resort! No no no wait, I love everything in this place! Accomodations are also available in this resort but unfortunately cellular signals are not that good buuuuut, you don't even need your phone because you'll surely enjoy in this resort.
Budget: (If you're from Daet) Minimum is 500 pesos.
MERCEDES GROUP OF ISLAND
Mercedes Group of Island is composed of several islands but I've only been to three islands. It's one of the best beaches in Daet. White sand, blue and crystal clear water. If you don't have a budget, yet, to do island hopping, there's a resort around the area. Palm Beach Resort, it's a pure and beautiful resort.
Budget: (If you're from Daet) Mercedes Group of Island: 500 to 1000 pesos each for 10pax. Palm Beach Resort: Minimum of 500 pesos.
WHITE PEBBLE BEACH RESORT
My happy place. It's not the most beautiful beach around Camarines Sur but it's the most peaceful for me. I love the view of the sunset, at night, I was able to watch the stars while drinking alcohol and have deep conversation. It's far from reality and the stress from school. It was an advantage for me that this beach has no cellular signals because I was able to think and reflect. I was able to get the rest I wanted. After leaving this place, I wanted to go back as soon as possible, because in this place, I felt happy.
Budget: (If you're from Naga) 1000 to 1500 pesos each for 2pax.
CAMSUR WATERSPORTS COMPLEX
A place to play no matter what your age is. This is one of the most enjoyable places in Camarines Sur, I was able to play and have fun like when I was still a child. A place to unwind and chill. Everything is available here, it's just a little pricey. There's a lot of enjoyable activities to do here. You'll definitely leave with a happy heart.
Budget: (If you're from Naga) 300 to 500 pesos.
