For bikers, there are well-paved roads running along pristine coastlines as well as unbeaten paths into the "ilayas" of each barrio. Marinduque is called the "heart of the Philippines" because it is indeed geographically at the heart of the archipelago, and shaped like one. Maybe thats why it is also consistently awarded the most peaceful province in the Philippines. Guest access Feel free to lounge around the gardens.
