About
Borongan Beach stretches along the rugged Pacific coastline of Borongan City, the capital of Eastern Samar, offering dramatic scenery of crashing open-ocean waves and windswept palm-lined shores. The beach is celebrated among surfers for its powerful and consistent swells, particularly from October to February when Pacific storm swells roll in. Even non-surfers enjoy the raw beauty of the coastline, with stunning sunrise views over the Philippine Sea. Nearby resorts and guesthouses provide comfortable options for an extended coastal stay.

Travel Tips
Check surf forecasts before visiting — the waves can be very powerful during storm season and are not suitable for beginners without a guide. Sunrise views from the beach are spectacular, so plan an early start. Borongan is well-connected by bus from Tacloban City, with a journey of about 4–5 hours. Accommodation options range from budget guesthouses to comfortable beachside resorts.
