Catanduanes Forum

Talk about relaxing. Johnny's Beach Resort is Paradise! As it faces the southern Machedas Channel separating Catanduanes from the Mainland Bicol, the water is as still as you want your weary mind to be while gazin at the majestic Mayon Volcano across the Channel.

It offers a fresh water swimming pool for those who do not want the sea. A small bars offering food, knick-knacks and beverages has a Videoke machine for those who want to sing (or shout) the stress out of their system.

Ah, but I love the the ambiance: the still waters, the floating hut, the fine beige coral-beach, that spot for pole fishing, beach-volleyball... and the people of Balite!

Johnny's (as it is now fondly called) is 20 minutes drive South west of Virac. One can just ask around for the direction and a tricycle ride to the place is quite an experience. Try it!
