Beaches: Pinamuntugan

 Pinamuntugan Island, Bacacay

In February 1, 1814, Mt. Mayon began its most violent and deadly eruption to date. During the eruption, some 1,200 people took refuge in the stone church of Cagsawa. Unfortunately, all perished when lahar and pyroclastic flows engulfed the church. Only the belfry of the Cagsawa church remains as a grim and silent reminder of that fateful day. For almost two hundred years, it has withstood the test of time and the elements to become one of the most recognizable landmarks of Albay Province.

Albay is famous for its volcanic jet-black sand beaches, but the province also has its share of islands with stretches of golden sands. Pinamuntugan Island in Bacacay, Albay is one of these; a hidden gem that is off the beaten path of most tourists. - See more at: http://wowlegazpi.com/category/destinations/#sthash.oXFJrNcc.dpuf
