About Biri
Biri is Northern Samar at its most dramatic. A small island town where the San Bernardino Strait meets the open Pacific, and the sea has carved seven giant rock formations out of the coast. Between them sits the Bel-at tidal pool, a natural saltwater pool reached by footbridge through the mangroves. Come for sunrise at Macadlaw, named for the Waray word for sun. Stay for sunset at Busay Hill, and the quiet island pace in between.
