A perfect spot to enjoy Batanes sunset facing the West Philippine Sea where one can descend more than a hundred steps down the adjacent cliff to fish, take pictures, or frolic in the waters.

Location of the country's northernmost PAGASA station, reason why Batanes is frequently associated with typhoons because Basco station is usually used as a reference point. It has a spectacular view of Mount Iraya and Basco town, with a commanding view of Batan hedgerows. One can view 360o of Batan island.
