Atimonan
Spend a half‑day to one full day in Atimonan: walk the town centre, visit the 17th‑century church and, if time permits, hike the Quezon Protected Landscape.
Atimonan is a small coastal municipality in eastern Quezon Province. The town centre is walkable, the main attraction is the historic Our Lady of the Angels Parish, and the surrounding Quezon Protected Landscape offers a short hike to Mount Pinagbanderahan. Because sights are limited, a single day (or a half‑day if you only see the church) is sufficient.
