BANTAY ABOT CAVE

Location: Sitio Mabubua, Baloi, Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte, Philippines


A part of the topographay Pagudpud beach coast

Bantay Abot Cave is not really a hill, but rather a hill with a hole along the shores of the town of Baloi in Ilocos Norte.  It has rock formations which is believed to be formed by earthquakes in the past.

At a distance,  this hill with a hole is like an image of a green whale resting ashore. We dropped by here after a drive coming from an overnight in Pagudpud Beach.

On the other hand,  this tourist spot is more than 40 minutes coming from Bangui Windmills though this is not accessible along the main road since you have to drive down to a periphery road going there.

A swim on its beach coast is not recommended here because like that in Bangui coast, the waves are very strong, though rock scrambling on its shallow part can be done.

The rock formations on this cave is ideally good for photography or other location shooting that you might want to have like pre-nuptial, but you need to be watchful of the rocks for they might be slippery when wet.

From this point, we pushed to Kabigan water falls with a separate blog  post here.
