Balogo, Pasacao is the nearest(only 25 km) and the cheapiest summer destination from Naga City . The sand and the sea may not be as beautiful as the beaches in Caramoan or Burias or Siruma, but its not that bad, for a quick weekend get away. The good thing is , we can visit the place every weekend due to its proximity to our home in Naga City.
Along the long stretch of seashore of Balogo, Pasacao, are lots of beach resorts to choose from. There are small resorts with basic amenities such as open nipa huts and toilet, no shower and dressing room. There are also resorts with swimming pool and aircon rooms.
We visit this place many times in a year due to our health concern. We believe that the sea breeze on early morning is good for us. So we find ways how to spend the least we can. We only spend 50 pesos for parking fee, and entrance fee is free. We did not get a hut, and we brought our own food. We stayed in the resort for only 3 hrs. 6:am to 9 am. Sometimes instead of paying for the hut, we rent banca for 350 pesos and go to Daruanak island which is just 10 minutes from Balogo. We do this when the resort is crowded during summer.

There is a stair being constructed today in Daruanak, its 260 steps, hopefully it will be finished by summer in 2018. We can have a good view of the nearby mountain and sea below.
