On the southeastern tip of the Bicol Peninsula, SORSOGON , capital of the same-name province, makes a good base for visiting Donsol and exploring the beaches of the eastern seaboard, where waves hammer in from the Pacific and surfing is a growing industry. One of the nicest beaches is Rizal beach , in the barrio of Gubat, a twenty-minute jeepney ride from Sorsogon, where you can get an ageing but adequate room at the Rizal Beach Resort Hotel (no phone; $10-20). In Sorsogon itself the Dalisay Hotel, in VL Peralta Street (tel 056/589 1242; $5-10), is one of your few decent options, with simple doubles. There are two major festivals in Sorsogon: the Kasanggayahan Festival on October 24-27 and the Ginubat festival in the Gubat area on June 11-12. Both celebrate the town's history with street parades, banca (boat) races and beauty pageants.
