Baliton Beach in General Santos City - Philippines

Baliton Beach is situated at the town of Glan in Sarangani, which is located just around 33 kilometers from the Tuna Capital of the Philippines, which is General Santos City.

The town of Glan is known not just for having the biggest land area in the province, but for having some of the world's richest fishing fields as well as the most beautiful beaches, which, obviously, includes Baliton Beach. Baliton Beach can also be accessed by boat from the beaches of Margus and Gumasa, which are, by the way, two other top rating beach resorts in the town of Glan. Now, if the tourist will becoming from the airport, all it takes is a 45 minute ride and he will be in Glan to visit Baliton Beach.

Once the tourist gets to Baliton Beach, the first thing he will most probably notice is the cool and refreshing sea breeze, which seems to be an open invitation to tourists to scour the deeper waters. One will also perhaps get to notice the view of mountains and rolling hills at the background. Once he gets into the water, he might be surprised at the wide array of sea creatures dwelling in the beach, such as dolphins, whales, and sea turtles. There are also tuna a-plenty, the yellow fin kind. Also look for mackerel fish, shipjack, and a whole lot of aquarium fishes, such as eagle rays. According to tourism officials in the area, all in all, there are more than two thousand species of marine creatures in Baliton Beach.

Knowing even just that is already a treat, isn't it? But, as if to double, or perhaps triple, the treat, these marine creatures are not for the eyes only. That is because tourism officials have designated fishing spots in select areas of Baliton Beach. In short, tourists do not just look, they can even fish as well! Now, it will be a thrill to find out who among the visitors would be able to have the biggest or the most plentiful catch of yellow fin tuna or mackerel for the day.

Since Baliton Beach has already been long established as a tourist spot in the place, tourists could expect that there would be food stalls and restaurants located just around the place. For their necessities, there would be lots of bargain shops located around the area, to which they can go to for flea markets and shopping on the cheap.
