Khokak Beach Resort |


Khokak Beach Resort is an interesting place located at San Pedro, Cataingan, Masbate. It is owned by the Kho Family which is the Congressman and the Mayor of the Municipality of Cataingan.
According to the source, Congressman Kho explained that the resort which he named as Khokak is not officially opened yet. There are already ten two-storey guest houses that have been built. The plan is that there will still be a hotel, a golf course, a wedding gazebo, shooting range, club house among others in the vicinity of the beach. He envisions it as a tourist haven in the near future. The beach is actually man-made. Aside from flattening the side of the hill where the resort now lies, he also employed sand trapping devices so that sand will accumulate and increase the beach front. It is a four kilometer stretch beach. Development of the place is going on. However, the idea of the resort is that it will be a four in one destination: the beach, a forest trekking, a visit to a ranch and an island trip to Sibugay and some small islets near it.
