Ocam Ocam Beach

Busuanga & the Calamian Islands


A lonely beach with golden sand, excellent snorkelling and just a couple of basic resorts in northwest Busuanga Island. You can get a boat here to fantastic Black Island (Malajon Island) for P1500 round-trip. Turn off the National Hwy 500m west of barangay New Busuanga, from where it's 5km to the beach on an unsealed road.
