CALOCO BEACH

A Serene Coastal Paradise With Shallow Beaches and a Vibrant Fishing Community

Caloco is one of Tinambac’s most peaceful coastal barangays — famous for its long stretch of shallow, crystal-clear shoreline where even far from the coast, the water only reaches chest-deep. Surrounded by coconut farms and gentle waves, Caloco offers a refreshing escape rooted in simple living, natural beauty, and a deep connection to the sea.

Caloco’s shoreline is unique in Tinambac — the water remains shallow even as you walk far into the sea, making it ideal for children, non-swimmers, and those who simply want to float and relax. Its peaceful atmosphere and blue-green waters make every visit memorable.

Fishing remains the heart of its local livelihood, while farmlands support root crops and coconut production, making Caloco a destination that blends culture, nature, and everyday community life.
