Magpupungko Beach is located in Pilar. It took us an hour to travel from General Luna (were we had tip-off point for our island hopping in Siargao) through a habal-habal.
This was named as Magpupungko because of a rock formation wherein a huge rock is seated perfectly into a smaller rock. This is surrounded by limestone and granite sculptures and is facing the Pacific Ocean.
When we did our research for Siargao, one place that was overly-raped and mentioned on articles was the Magpupungko Beach and Natural Pool. Looking at pictures alone, we were right away sold to the idea that we must drop by Magpupungko.

It will be best to bring a snorkeling gear or goggles to fully enjoy the view down low. An underwater camera will also help. Good thing Nelson brought a goggle which he didn’t hesitate to lend us.
We were all laughs and talks while enjoying the cool waters in the natural pool but I just can’t seem to stop the urge to climb the tall rock and take a dive. So I prepped myself, asked permission from Sheena and gave her my last will and testament before taking the dive.
Here is the video of my very awkward looking jump and dive.
Good thing that we took time to visit Siargao’s north… Magpupungko was awesome even in rainy weather =)
@EAZY and we envy your trip to Sohoton T_T
Love this place. Did Sheena go for a swim?(According to your whale shark post she’s a nonswimmer.) If memory serves me right, the pool was quite deep…
@Mustachio – nope she didn’t. She wanted to. Poor non-swimmers ahahaha
ang ganda…
awww I miss this place!
Ang ganda dito grabe..! 😀
