Ask any Boronganon about the nice beaches in the municipality and you will be told to visit Punta Maria (Point Mary). It is a beautiful white beach at the base of a 50-meter elevated reef limestone. The beach which faces the large Pacific Ocean, is white because it is composed of calcium carbonate (white in color) derived from the disintegration of the limestone rock. The limestone rock was formed from the compaction of corals under the sea thousands of years ago. It is now elevated because of the slow upward movement of the Earth's crust.
