Balite is located near Virac on Catanduanes Island, known as the 'Land of the Howling Winds'. Mamangal White Sand Beach is the region's centerpiece, enchanting visitors with its shallow, clear waters and shade-giving trees along the shore. Resorts like Emmanuel's Paradise and Barefoot Beach Resort offer simple but warm accommodations for travelers looking to relax away from the crowds. The area around Emmanuelle Beach Resort and Sunset View Resort is famous for its spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean. Catanduanes remains largely untouched by mass tourism, making Balite a convenient spot for explorers. Access is via Virac Airport or by ferry from Tabaco City. Local culture is deeply tied to fishing, and visitors should definitely try the fresh lobster and the famous spicy Bicolano dishes that the region is known for throughout the Philippines.
