Rocky BeachNot many beaches in Batan Island are tropical white-sand paradisiac beaches, maybe less than a handful; but instead you can find several rocky beaches, savage and wild, remote and lonely beaches, a different taste.

A hut and a Boat...Batanes lifestyle can be quite simple... a modest hut to spend some months during the year and a traditional fishing boat. This a Diura village hut, the fishing village in the east coast of the Island.

Lovely ImnajbuIn the east coast of the island, at the end of the "national road" lies a small village located in one of the most beauitful places of the island, Imnajbu. Surrounded by tropical hills, palm-trees and a nice white-sand beach...a walk around will fill a lovely time.
