The Blue Lagoon or Maira-ira as it also popularly known is located in Malingay Cove in Sitio Malingay. This hidden bay is at Mairaira Point, and is situated in a half moon shaped bay along with its fine white sands that contrast so strikingly with the blue and some say cerulean blue waters.

At one end of the bay is the Nacatnagan Cliff in the east and the Dos Hermanos islands in the north, both popular destinations for tourists. These two features are also highly regarded local attractions which are on the agenda of any local tourist guide and make sure they take you there.
