Camayan Beach Resort is a seaside escape on the edge of Subic Bay, surrounded by calm waters and lush coastal forest. It has long been a favorite getaway for families and groups who want to enjoy swimming, snorkeling, and beachside relaxation away from the busier parts of the Freeport Zone. Its location next to Ocean Adventure makes it an ideal spot for travelers who want to combine a day of marine park activities with time on the beach.
How to Get There
The resort is located about 20 minutes from the Subic Bay Freeport entrance. Travelers can drive from Manila City in two to three hours via the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) and Subic–Clark–Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX), then continue into the coastal forest leading to the resort.
Cruise passengers docking at Subic Bay can reach Camayan by van or shuttle directly from the port. Many organized tours also include it alongside nearby attractions, making it simple to add to a Subic day trip.
What to Expect
A visit to Camayan Beach Resort promises a balance of relaxation and outdoor fun. The beach features clear, swimmable waters ideal for snorkeling, with coral gardens close to the shore. Guests can lounge on the sand, rent kayaks or paddleboards, or simply enjoy the quiet surroundings framed by tropical greenery.
The resort has its own restaurant and beachfront facilities, so visitors can enjoy local meals and drinks while taking in the view. For those staying overnight, the resort offers comfortable rooms ranging from standard accommodations to suites with sea views. It is one of the best hotels and resorts in Subic.
Best Time to Visit
The most popular months to visit Camayan Beach Resort are from November to May, when the skies are clear and the seas are calm. This season offers the best conditions for snorkeling, water sports, and long afternoons on the beach. Weekdays are generally quieter than weekends, which makes them a better choice for travelers seeking a more peaceful experience.
Shore Excursions for Cruise Passengers
For cruise passengers docking at Subic Bay, Camayan Beach Resort is one of the most convenient options for shore excursions. Its location near the port allows travelers to maximize their time, with plenty of hours left to swim, relax, or explore the facilities.
The easiest way to enjoy a day here is by booking a Day Tour to Camayan Beach Resort, which includes access to the beachfront, amenities, and dining options. Some shore tours also combine a visit to Camayan Beach Resort with stops at Ocean Adventure or other Subic attractions, giving guests a well-rounded experience even within a single port call.
