Agta Beach

Eastern Visayas


About 4km north of Almeria is Agta Beach, with Biliran's largest concentration of resorts, although it's a fairly mediocre stretch of sand and can fill up with karaoke-loving locals on weekends. Agta Beach is a good base for visiting Dalutan, an island with white sand and good snorkelling just offshore, and, closer to shore, Capinahan Island.
