Batalay Beach, Bato, Catanduanes

I just found out that someone took these pictures from my friendster’s account and named them incorrectly right infront of me. It is like stealing money in my purse. It is infuriating! The least she could have done is ask permission or site the sources where she lifted them from. Hope she gets the message.

I love your pictures!! This place looks like a wonderful place to visit
you’re tempting me to go to catanduanes…
i’ll look for ways so i can go there for free
cookie, thanks! Batalay is not the best looking beach in the world but is certainly is a beautiful place for swimming because the water is so gentle. also the rocks are nice and smooth.
I’m sure you had a great time there!
Steve’s catch…is it tulingan? love them!
Lovely photos, Belle!
Glad you had fun.
Just visiting…I moved to a new blogsite
Your hometown is so beautiful. It’s been ages since I last saw a rainbow as appeared on the top picture. Thanks for the pics, they are beautiful!
Oh the fish! I’d love to be there. Steve must have enjoyed it a lot. Loved the twilight pics. I miss being near the sea.
I am so loving the photos here.
I am sorry to read about what happened to Mango . At least, he spent many wonderful years with you
A friend who visited Catanduanes a while back to the parts of Caramoran via lansta from Tabaco said, that our province is the island that has “flying fishes” anywhere you look.
I think I’d been there in Batalay once. Ung rinas sana sato… maski igwang Bagyo ano?
PS. Belle, hamak an igwa ka pa ning fishing boat. Ang yaman yaman mo talaga. Ibahon mo ako sa otro sa Bato. Nakaduwa ka ng paribod, ako dai pa. Kanga-ngalas mo!
Gorgeous shots. I hope you’re enjoying every bit of your stay in that lovely paradise.
I forgot to add that it’s so nice to have a boat named after you.
Beautiful pictures, belle. It must have been a really nice vacation.
The sunset picture and Steve’s catch are my favorites in this pictorial set. You must have had a grand time time clicking away, Belle. And who are those favorite people?
Hi Ate Belle,
Your photos are getting more and more beautiful everyday.
Look at those fish! Wow, I can just imagine how much fun to get time in.
I am so happy for you that you were able to enjoy a vacation in the Philippines.
Hi Belle,
I grew up watching the sunset while playing with the waves in Batalay beach. We used to have a mini resort there and once a venue of the Batalay Fiesta almost 10 years ago. It is the only resort there with a few cottages. It’s a nice feeling seeing familiar scenes again.
