Ampere Beach - Dipaculao, Aurora





This beach, like Borlongan Beach, is covered with smooth rocks, but here the rocks are more varied in size and darker in color. This beach is an area called Bunga Point or Ampere Point, where local residents flock to Okotan Cave, a time-honored locale for forecasting the weather. The Pacific waves, upon hitting the shoreline cave, produce an explosion, the intensity of which, according to local lore, determines the intensity of the incoming weather.
