San Rafael Beach, Coastal beach in Ormoc, Philippines.
San Rafael Beach extends along the eastern coastline of Leyte Island, featuring white sand shores bordered by native coconut palm trees.
The beach area developed as a local gathering place during the 1950s when fishing communities established their first settlements in the region.
Local fishermen maintain traditional fishing methods at San Rafael Beach, using outrigger boats called bancas to catch fish in the early morning.
Visitors can reach San Rafael Beach via a 15-minute drive from downtown Ormoc, with regular public transportation available from the city center.
The beach contains natural rock formations that create small pools during low tide, allowing children to observe marine life in protected areas.
