Dilasag, Aurora - White Beach




This long beach has numerous shells and corals scattered along the entire length of its southern half, which is approximately 1-2 kilometers long. The shore is made up of coral reefs that gradually slope into the sea, and a bit farther from the shore is a sudden drop into the sea bottom. This area has a variety of undersea flora and fauna for divers to observe. Brain corals, sea urchins, hermit crabs and even an occasional lobster may be seen in the reef site. The northern half of the beach is of golden white sand and is an excellent place for swimming. The whole white beach area is bordered on the landward side by a long hillcrest with bushes and trees scattered from the foot to the top of the hill. Off-shore coral reef formations provide interesting spots for diving.
