Dingalan, Aurora : Umiray Beach

Dingalan, Aurora is approximately 182 kilometers away from Manila and around 60 kilometers from Cabanatuan City in Nueva Ecija. Umiray is located 24 kilometers south of Dingalan Proper.

An amazing fact about Dingalan...It has no distinct dry season.  It has a generally fair weather throughout the year with rainfall evenly distributed throughout the year.  The wettest months are October and November and the driest are January and February. (source : http://dingalanlgu.gov.ph/?page=aboutus).  Dingalan is an all year round destination.

Umiray got its name from Umiray River. Umiray River is the river that separates Aurora and Quezon provinces. It is bounded by Dingalan and General Nakar (Quezon) towns.  It is used as a transport by the illegal loggers (bad huh!).

After our exhausting but fun hike to Tabi Falls, I already saw my son Joshua and brother-in-law, Raymart, dipping into the beach area. They were so fascinated with the high waves. We had already taken a shower from the houseowner's abode and I wish that I didn't because the water is so inviting. 

The people are getting their everyday supply of water from Tabi Falls


approaching nightime

the high waves!!!






That's my son who had already taken a shower, he is just testing the water first until he rolled into the sand again...


he owns the world...no tourists around...



The owner of house is very much willing to cook the food for you for a fee.  They have a sari sari store and we just picked what we wanted to eat.  We also bought their fresh catch pusit and bayawak.  My kids ate the adobong bayawak because they did'nt know it's a bayawak.  I didn't even taste it seeing the poor animal killed in front of me.
