Fourteen kilomtres south of Matsbate Town, and down a rough dirt road is the attractive crescent Bituon Beach, hugely popular with local families on weekends. If you're not staying at the rather odd-looking Bituon Beach Resort (www.bituonbeach.com) – a collection of thatched huts and basic rooms, interspersed with statues of Disney's Goofy and friends – you pay P50 to enjoy the beach and its picnic facilities. A tricycle ride to and from Masbate costs around P350, with waiting time.
