There are also cottages all around the resort, and some are placed near the shore if you want a better view of the waves slapping the sand or if you want to see some locals doing skim boarding. If you get tired from all the walking, they offer snacks and refreshments for a reasonable price.
Dangkalan also offers overnight accommodations. They have native and nipa hut-inspired cottages as well as modern air-conditioned rooms. A concrete white house also stands at the center of the resort, which can be rented out as well. But if you’re up for some camping, you can do so and there are designated areas for campers.
