Baler Escapade : Ampere Beach of Dipaculao
Our Baler Escapade started pretty rough because the weather wasn’t really good. We were supposed to hit the beach and the falls on the first day but none of them pushed through because of the weather. I actually thought that everything will be ruined since our original itinerary was completely changed. It weather may not be so accommodating to us but we actually had a great start. We were taken briefly to the magnificent scenery offered by the so-called Ampere Beach. 
Ampere Beach is located in Dipaculao which is almost an hour away from Baler. Topographically, Ampere Beach is not a kind of beach where people can go for a swim but the site is something you can marvel.
The panaromic view of Ampere Beach
Here, you’ll enjoy the picturesque scenery of the stone shore and those amazing rock formations where massive waves are crashing. The place is notable for those smooth rocks that vary in sizes and shape. You must be very cautious with your steps though because these are real hard rocks so any wrong step may put you in danger.
It was just a quick stop-over and Ampere beach is just located along the road on the first place. The first thing you’ll notice here is the isolated rock formation located not too far from the stone shore. This is not just a rock formation but a small cave which is better known as the Okoton Cave.
Okoton Cave has become an ideal spot for locals to determine the condition of the weather. They can forecast the weather and determine its intensity through the waves crashing and passing through the cave. When the weather is too intense and harsh, the sound of the splash can almost be compared to the sound of an explosion.
The clear and bluish water of Ampere Beach might be very tempting but the people were not really encourage to go here for a swim as the waves are too strong and it would be very risky as well. It is a perfect spot for sight-seeing though especially during the sunset or sun rise!
We could have caught that Instagram-worthy sunrise view of the Ampere beach but it was drizzling that time so we were all greeted with foggy and gloomy scenery. It wasn’t really bad though and I think it was a great sight to start our Baler escapade.
