Magsapad Rock Formation, Limestone rock formation in Biri Island, Philippines.
Magsapad Rock Formation is a limestone structure along the northeastern edge of Biri Island, shaped by constant ocean wave action and wind over time. The landscape features jagged cliffs with crevices and natural basins created through the slow erosion of the stone.
The rock formation developed over thousands of years as ocean waves and wind slowly wore away layers of limestone. This ongoing process continues to reshape the structure today.
The formation is woven into the daily life of local fishing communities who use its sheltered areas and natural resources as part of their work. Residents have adapted their maritime traditions around this landscape for generations.
The best time to visit is during low tide when more of the formation is exposed and tidal pools are easier to access safely. Wear sturdy shoes since the ground is uneven and slippery, especially after rain or tidal shifts.
When high tide arrives, natural crevices and basins fill with seawater and harbor small fish and other sea creatures that visitors can watch. These temporary pools offer a rare glimpse into marine life in an isolated setting.
