San Jacinto Waterpark
Ticao Island's first waterpark, opened right on the shore at Brgy. Burgos: pools and a jacuzzi on one side, the sea and kayaks on the other. This is the one to know if you are travelling with children, who will get more out of it than out of a dive resort.

The dive resort that put Ticao on the map, and the reason most foreign visitors come to Masbate at all. Eleven beachfront bungalows facing the Ticao Pass, a PADI dive centre on site, and the Manta Bowl a boat ride away. Remote on purpose. There is nothing else within walking distance, which is the point.
The comfortable option on Ticao: a small boutique resort with a pool, a clubhouse and beachside dining, rather than a dive camp. Good if you want the island without giving up a proper bed and a cold drink by the water.
A local beach resort with a function hall attached: the place San Jacinto uses for weddings, reunions and barangay events rather than a dive holiday. Handy if you want to be near the town rather than out at Tacdugan.
