Kingkim Beach and Bato Buri in Burias, Glan, Sarangani Province

If you think the white sand beaches of Gumasa in Glan, Sarangani Province are the only tourist spots the town can offer, you better suspend that thinking until you see what we've just discovered.

Beyond Gumasa lies a hidden paradise called Bato Buri, accessible via KingKim resort in Barangay Burias, around 20km from Gumasa.




Not very fancy but it will surely bring you closer to nature and would make you appreciate God's gifts to Sarangani.





How to Get There

If your are driving, go to Glan and take the road to Gumasa. Head on to Barangay Burias 20-km away. On the right side look out for the signage that says Burias Beach or Mingkat Gampal Elementary School.

For those who are commuting, take the van to Glan from Veranza Mall. Drop off at the Terminal in Poblacion Glan. From there look for a motorcycle that will take you to Burias. Fare is usually Php 100.00.

There are also big trucks that head straight to Margus. Their terminal is at Lagao Public Market, General Santos City. You may asked to drop off at Burias and take a motorcycle ride from Brgy. Burias to Kingkim Beach.

This video will show you the what the trip would be like, including the landmarks and the signage I am talking about.


Expected Expenses

Kingkim Beach is not quite a resort with complete amenities. They do not have rooms for overnight accommodations. They have open cottages instead and they encourage those who want to stay overnight to bring their own tents.

Entrance is only Php 30 for day visits and Php 50 for overnight stay. Cottages are also available for rent Php 300 for daytime and Php 500 for overnight stay. You can bring your tent and pay Php 80 per tent space.

Bato Buri

If the powdery white sand at Kingkim beach does not satisfy you, take a boat ride to Bato Buri. You can arrange a boat ride to Bato Buri, a secluded cove a few minutes from Kingkim beach.

Here is what Bato Buri looks like:




There is no additional entrance fee at Bato Buri ang you can see in the video that when the tide is low, you can trek to Bato Buri.

Important Note

It is important to note that Kingkim Beach is owner by a Muslim family. As a sign of respect, please do not bring pork to the beach. You can bring fish and other food, except pork. Liquor is also prohibited in the beach. A friend of mine asked to bring lechon but I discouraged them because I know that the owners are Muslim and I respect their beliefs.

Also, they are not operating during the holy month of Ramadan.

For more questions and for advanced bookings, please contact Sir Baz of Kingkim beach at 09366376002.

As Sarangani celebrates its 33rd Founding Anniversary alongside the 23rd MunaTo Festival, the province pays tribute to its roots, its people, and its thriving cultural identity. “MunaTo,” meaning “First People,” is more than just a name — it's a reminder that Sarangani’s story is deeply grounded in its heritage and in the communities that have shaped its vibrant character. This year’s theme, “ Kultura Natin, Lakas Natin, ” captures the soul of the celebration — a powerful declaration that culture is at the heart of Sarangani’s strength and unity. From November 28 to 30, 2025, the Sarangani Capitol Grounds will once again come alive with music, color, and culture. But a personal favorite of mine? The festivities start even before the main program — and they’r...
