About Magpupungko Rock Pools

Natural rock pools formed by volcanic rock formations on the northeast coast. At low tide, the pools are calm and clear â€” perfect for swimming. At high tide, waves crash dramatically over the rock formations. Accessible by motorbike (35 min from GL); check tide charts before you go â€” low tide only.
