Bulubito-on Beach Resort, Hinigaran, Philippines

Bulubito-on Beach was the place to hang out during my high school days. My barkadas and I would spent Saturdays there and wonderful memories were made. Even until now, it's a fave place to go on weekends or family outings and gatherings.

Bulubito-on Beach derived its name from the Bulubito-on trees surrounding the area. Bulubito-on tree has this fruit  (not edible) that shaped like a star. Coming from Bacolod City, it's a 50-60 minutes bus ride. Ceres Bus fare cost P39 (one-way). Take a tricycle at Bangga Bulubito-on with fare costing P5-10 each. Entrance fee to the resort cost P10 for adults and P5 for kids. Day huts or cottages cost between P200 to P700 depending on the size. There's a social hall that one can rent of which can accommodate 50 pax at one time. They do have cottages with sleeping areas (2) but you have to convince the owner to rent it overnight. They don't encourage overnight stayers since the resort doesn't have security personnel.

We like the beach because it is not "cantilado" meaning the level of the sand is mostly plain and doesn't go deep and shallow and so on....safe for the kids. The sand is not even mud compared to Punta TayTay in Bacolod City. The resort has a sari-sari store, bathing area at P3 per bath per person and toilet  use is free. You have to bring your own food if you intend to eat lunch there. They don't have a carinderia or restaurant where you can order.

Bulubito-on Beach is just a simple place but the memories created in this place is priceless.
