YOUTUBE VIDEO LINK: POCTOY WHITE BEACH
Just two weeks ago, we (bf and I) had our vacation in Marinduque. We had this urge to go to the beach because summer is fast approaching. So we decided to travel the next day.
Poctoy beach is located in Torrijos, it is the second most visited beach in the province of Marinduque. Who wouldn’t befall in this kind of scenery that will give you the feeling of being wanted? The crisp air and clear blue sky that adds up to your spiritual stay. Isn’t it amazing? Luckily, we were so fortunate that we had the place all on our own.
So here are some tips and advises that might help you when traveling around the area.
LOCATION:
From Manila: Start off in Cubao, Quezon City then ride a bus going to going to Lucena or Dalahican Port. You can go to Lucena Grand terminal or take JAM/JAC Liner.
Jac Liner offers a ride from Manila directly to Marinduque, the fare is much higher though but at least you won’t get lost. From Dalahican Port, catch a RORO every 3 hours.
When you arrived at Balanacan port, ride on a jeep going to Torrijos, from the town of Torrijos, ride a tricycle and tell them to drop you off at the beach.

WHAT TO EXPECT:

WHAT I EXPECT FROM YOU
Clean your own mess! Don’t throw plastic garbage in the ocean. Please have some respect for the people living nearby. If it’s not your place, better behave! You can have fun and enjoy every moment with your family/friends but don’t forget my little reminder. HAVE FUN!
