Biri Island is one of the most fascinating towns in Northern Samar. It is known for its superb rock formations carved through time due to big waves of the San Bernardino Strait that lap up the Eastern portion of its shore. Two huge,beautifully carved rocks, each about the size of a three-story building, stand separately on a wide flat rock on one of the islets called Magasang. A big rock formation with a bat cave underneath can be found in Bel-at. These spots have been attracting both foreign and domestic tourists. It has also been a favorite place for photography enthusiasts and picnickers, especially during summer when the weather is good and the sea is calm. Visitors spend the day relishing the site and taking a dip in the cool blue water and surfers during the months of October to January, with its perfect surging waves.



               How to get there…The Island can be reached in 14 hours by bus or private vehicle from Manila or approximately 1 hour flight from Manila to Catarman, the capital town of Northern Samar. However, the island can also be reached in 30 minutes by sea from the town of Lavezares through motorboats.Motorboats are used for inter-island transport while motorcycles are available in the town proper.
