Along the
coastal route from Legazpi to Tabaco are several beach resorts,
charac-terized by dark lava sand and rough blue waters. This area
is sometimes called the 'Mayon Riviera'.
The road
to Tabaco from Legazpi is as-phalt and in good condition except
for a short section before Santo Domingo which was pushed away
by a previous volcanic eruption and has not yet been rebuilt.
In spite of this fact much traffic plies this route, but on rainy
days it can be difficult to pass through.
To reach
the resorts located along this route, one takes a jeepney at the
Legazpi public market going toward Tabaco, and asks the driver
to stop on the highway near the desired resorts. From the highway
one takes a tricycle to the resorts.
