The Punta Ubong Coastal Limestone Cave System


Carved-out by the sea over millions of years, the caves are a natural wonder to behold. There are a total of three caves, two of which are linked to each other by a small shaft. A cove measuring about a hundred meters in width seperates the third, smaller cave, from the other two. This smaller cave – Salvacion Cave - sits on the outer rim, its sea-facing opening so large that pump-boats frequently enter and dock within, to the delight of tourists. This cave’s high ceiling (45-50 feet) gives it a catherdral-like, expansive feel; its visible, coral-covered bottom, at about 30 to 35 feet deep, is a spectacular free-dive to those so inclined.
