Poctoy beach stop

Bikers view Mt. Malindig from the Poctoy white sand beach in Torrijos.

All of Marinduque's towns are linked by a 119-km circumferential road. Some who visit the island with mountain bikes in tow actually enjoy the experience of biking around and interact with the friendly people during stops.

Of Poctoy Beach, Pinoy Boy Journal blogger writes thus: "If you ask me about my thoughts, i couldn't point out why this place is unique. Its somewhere in between knowing that Torrijos is a poor man's beach but blessed with the whitest, clearest waters and knowing the people here are the nicest i've met anywhere in the Philippines.

"Besides the occasional brown outs and unlit pathways, this place has a charm that's hard to explain. Up until now, this particular stop seems so unforgettable to me. I have no idea why.."
