One of the famous beaches in mainland Siargao is Magpupungku. One has to pass through sharp rocky paths in order to get to Magpupungku. It is a good place to go swimming during lowtide as there are pools of water separated from the sea.

During lowtide this place would have looked like a swimming pool as the waters would not have overflowed beyond the edges

Magpupungku Beach in Siargao. This beach is found in the mainland of Siargao island, about fifteen kilometers from the town of Gen. Luna where the famous beaches are situated. The place is best during lowtides, as one can have shallow pools which are best for swimming. It is named Magpupungku (squatting) after the rock which squats on a slab of stone ready to topple over.
